Adding or Changing Account Numbers
An account number is another method, in addition to a name, to refer to one of your general ledger accounts. These numbers can save you time by providing quick reference to your accounts. You should assign account numbers in ranges corresponding to their different types. The standard account numbers in NetSuite are four digits, but your account numbers can be as long as 60 alphanumeric characters. NetSuite automatically updates existing records when you change the account number.
To enter or change an account number:
-
Go to Lists > Accounting > Accounts.
-
Click Edit next to the account you want to change.
-
On the Edit Account page, enter or edit the number you want to use in the Number field.
-
Click Save.
