My company chart of accounts is 8 digits in total. However, QBO has stricted it to 7 digits. As a result, I am unable to input my chart of accounts numbers. Please help.

The number of characters in a field is hard wired, all you can do is restructure your numbering system to not exceed 7 digits

Update everyone - the Chart of Accounts number field length is now 20 in the US. Big change that QBO should announce. Just like being able to import bills....that feature is now available.

Using QBO Advanced.

Any update for Quickbooks Desktop? My checking account numbers are 10 digits long. The 7 character limit is making importing my payroll iif files a nightmare. Thanks! ~Annie

IMHO, 4 digits is all you should need for account numbers since that gives you 9999 accounts, unless you are trying to use account for some other purpose like locations or something usually with a better system feature to handle that "other purpose."

The State of Michigan requires governmental units to use a Uniform Chart of Accounts with 9-digit number in the chart of accounts - minimum. You can subdivide the 9 digit numbers further if necessary.
