Calling all 371 guru's. Client has MAS90 371 core modules only. GL structure is currently 3-3, but they don't use the 2nd segment as a true 2nd segment (dept, location, etc). They really just use it as an extension of their main account or a sub account of the main account. They don't have the different 2nd segments setup in department maintenance either. An example of their account is 100-E&W.
Tried going to 4.30 and stopped due to invalid characters in the account numbers. Those are now fixed, but when I discussed having to create the depts, or location in 371 for migration to 430, that's when the usage of the 2nd segment came to light. They really would like a 6 character main account and no segments.
So I changed the 371 structure to 6-0 in structure maintenance (just changed it!) and it recalibrated the GL account to be 6-0 making 100-E&W to 100E&W. Disregarding the & in the GL number (that's been renumbered in 371 now), I can't believe 371 just let me change the structure the way it did.
I test migrated to 430 and it all seem to come thru ok and converted ok. My question to the guru's is: Do you know of any fallout from doing this change and does this seem weird that it just let me do this or was 371 that 'open'? Do I need to have them process in 371 with this new 6-0 for a bit to make sure all looks ok before migrating and converting to 430? My GL balanced after the conversion (suprise, suprise) but concerned about other issues if any.
Thanks
