A GL Account Segment is a specific part of a GL Account. Every GL Account contains at least 1 segment referred to as the "Natural Account" but some companies require additional structure to segment Natural Accounts by things like Companies, Divisions, Departments, etc. GL Account Segments are typically separated by "-" (e.g. 2000-00).
