This option allows you to set the prime index format for each of the application databases including the nominal account files which are used for both the nominal ledger and the cash book.
The default format for nominal is 999 – this forces nominal account codes to have three numbers. A typical other format would be 999-AA which would allow three numbers, a delimiter, and two letters for (say) a department code. With the nominal ledger it is best to avoid the U or X formats.
The ‘Company Name’ displayed here is used as the name in all reports including the Nominal and Cash Book reports.
