You can associate an account mask with a division. This is useful if divisions are identified by a specific segment of the account number. You can use the account mask to direct sales revenue, cost of sales, and revenue relating to rental and transport transactions to a specific division, regardless of the other account segments to which the revenue or cost is to be booked.
