1. If you use a simple numbering system and want Project Accounting to generate your project codes automatically, select Automatically generate project codes.

   Consecutive numbers will be allocated to your projects, beginning with the number entered in the Set next code to box. This will initially be set to 0000000001, but you can change the number if required.

2. If you want to use your own manual project coding method or use alphanumeric codes for your projects, clear the Automatically generate project codes box. You will manually enter the project code when you create a new project.
3. To save your settings, click OK.

• Display project structure when displaying project information

  Select this to always display the project structure when displaying a project record (e.g. when amending a project).

  Clear this option to hide the project structure in the appropriate windows. You must select Show Project Structure to display the structure.

  This can be useful as it enables a user to choose a project item from the project structure, when entering the project analysis on a transaction. If you have projects with different groupings, and many contain the same project items, this can help to make sure that the correct project item is chosen.

• Hierarchy separator

  Enter your preferred separator. The separator can be in any format up to 10 characters. For example, --, >, or a space.

  The separator displays on the ...(by structure) reports and separates each level of the project hierarchy.

  Examples of hierarchy separators

  Hierarchy Separator	Example
  ----
  4 spaces (pressing the space bar four times).
  No separator

You can post transactions in your project that are not connected to a supplier or customer. These are recorded in the Nominal Ledger.

You can choose whether these are posted as costs or revenues.

Select the As Cost or As Revenue options for Taxable Payments and Taxable Receipts to set the default for these transactions.
