Level address

A level address is a numeric identifier that defines the location of an accounting unit in the company structure. After you define an accounting unit, you must provide it with a unique level address. The General Ledger application uses the level address to consolidate and report on information for accounting units in the company and across companies that have the same structure. Level addresses provide a roll-up structure for a General Ledger company. You can define level addresses on Accounting Unit - Accounts (GL20.1).

You can compare a level address to a phone number. A phone number can be broken down into several unique parts with each part providing a more specific identifier: country code, area code, telephone number. Each part of a level address tells you more specifically where in the company structure that accounting unit is located.
