QuickBooks permits the use of account numbers for their chart of accounts, and this can be turned on or off at the user's discretion.
My problem is trying to find a way to automatically pick my own sequence of numbers. I find it ludicrous that QB automatically assigns numbers in the 10000 plus range (5 digits). This is very awkward and cumbersome. Most businesses can work easily with 4 digits in their numbering system. The only way I know of to change that is to manually assign an account number to each individual account. Is there a way (like in Simply Accounting) to just click a button and select the number of digits of your choice?
