Hi Javier

>Bhavbhuti, for accounts you don't need a separate hierarchical method as the number itself has the hierarchy. If you add another hierachical layer then you are complicating the problem.

Account Numbers? Nobody is using them here in businesses, just codeless systems.

>In fact sometimes it can be a pain when the accounting tree grows, as each level is capable of only 10 sublevels. If you don't plan well it can limit you (I have about 15 years in accounting experience); you can rewrite the tree, but it breaks backward compatibility (something many accountants don't care about because they break the books every year).

Yup that is true, that is why I wanted to remove cCode and I guess as far as data-entry is concerned there is no need for it, just the group serial number is required to show them in the right order in a group.
Regards
Bhavbhuti
