Chart of accounts (COA)
Requirement
Financial reporting and accounting for any business depends on a well-structured chart of accounts, so that collecting large volumes of accounting data can efficiently reflect the performance and position of a specific business.In this country, no specific layout is required by law for the chart of accounts. The chart of accounts that is most commonly used is based on the French chart of accounts, which is named Plan comptable.
M3 solution
An account coding string of seven accounting dimensions, each of ten characters, is supported by the general ledger in M3. The first dimension is defined as the chart of accounts. The remaining six dimensions or identities that are stored from the specified coding string can be used to further analyze the dimension-1 account.
