### Account Number
A standard chart of accounts is organized according to a numerical system. Each major category will begin with a certain number, and then the sub-categories within that major category will all begin with the same number. For example, if assets are classified by numbers starting with the digit 1000, then cash accounts might be labeled 1100, bank accounts might be labeled 1200, accounts receivable might be labeled 1300, and so on. A gap between account numbers is generally maintained for adding accounts in the future.
You can assign a number while creating an account from Chart of Accounts page. You can also edit a number from account record, by clicking "Update Account Number" button. On updating account number, system renames the account name automatically to embed the number in the account name.
