Greetings
I would like to add invoicing to my business system. In my AP I'm using GIFI codes modified to look like xxxx.xx.xx.xx so that I can get the granularity that I want. Does LedgerSMB tolerate AP numeric codes with more than 4 digits (like my 10 (with spacers - - - much easier to read that way!!))?

Yes: there's no practical limit to the number of characters (digits and letters or other characters) you may want to use the GIFI field with. The technical limit is a little over 8,000 (eight thousand) bytes.

Thank you - - - useful info!!!
Are account numbers governed in the same way? (number of characters is essentially without practical limit)
TIA

Yes: you can store up to 8,000 bytes in that field. 8k bytes equates to *at least* 2k unicode codepoints ("characters", mostly).

Interesting - - - very - - - in fact. The big players in the M$ world make one pay through the nose to get past 4 characters! 2k characters - - - - well - - - - my doc with all the account codes is already over 50 pages long. If I used more than 10 digits - - - well anyone reading my ledger would think I truly was touched in the head!!!
Thank you for your assistance!!
