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).

Each time a new GL Account is added, the individual Segment values are automatically added to this page. The purpose of this page is to Add/Edit segment values within a GL Account Segment.

This is only for information, there is no existing NorthScope functionality tied to this feature.

Page Header

Toolbar Icons	Description
Grid Layout	Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific). The bolded view is the default view, which will determine the view will automatically display in when opened.
Help	Opens the online WIKI help page for the current page.
Save/ Save & Close	Either saves your changes and closes the page or saves your changes and leaves you on the page. The Save button is only activated when a change is detected on the page. When the Save button is active, a ‘ + ‘ character is displayed in the page border. Saving reloads the page.
