An account mask allows you to group certain accounts together according to their account elements. Account masks are used for reporting, as well as exporting of data and by-user security.
For example, a company uses the following account structure:
Branch - 3 characters division - 3 characters account code - 6 characters
If you want to include all accounts for division 123 across all branches and all account codes, set up an account mask of ***.123.******.
Note You must use asterisks (*) as placeholders when entering an account mask.
