**Segments Setup** - Edit \> Company Settings \> General Ledger \> Segments tab - **Structure** tab           **![](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-55-10-48-PM.png?width=402&height=343&name=image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-55-10-48-PM.png)**  - - - establish the **Separator** character you want to divide your Segments from each other - click ![](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-55-22-67-PM.png) **New** to add another Segment - determine the **Length** you want to reserve for this Segment - identify the **Name** for this Segment - select the **Type** - **Codes** tab - create a new **Code** - select the **Segment** you wish to create Codes for - enter the **Code** and **Description** for each![](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-55-16-66-PM.png) - In this structure example, the GL Account hierarchy would look like this: - **Base** Segment will contain all Account numbers - **Location** Segment will contain all codes representing Location - ie: MON / TOR / VAN - **Profit Center** Segment will contain all codes representing Profit Center - ie: Production / Service - The GL Chart would look like this, where ‘82400’ is the **Base** segment, or Account Number: - 82400/MON/PROD - 82400/MON/SERV - 82400/TOR/PROD - 82400/TOR/SERV - this structure allows the ability to print Financial reports for just Segment **MON** or just **PROD**, with **MON** and/or **TOR**, etc., using the GL Account Filters to establish these selections ![GLAccountsFilterLocation](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GLAccountsFilterLocation.png?width=594&height=297&name=GLAccountsFilterLocation.png) - **Location Accounting** uses segmentation to automatically append the Sales Department GL Accounts that are used in Sales transactions, to the proper Location - **Setup** - Edit \> Company Settings \> General Ledger \> General tab![CompanySettingsGLGeneralLocationProfitCentre](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CompanySettingsGLGeneralLocationProfitCentre.png?width=589&height=413&name=CompanySettingsGLGeneralLocationProfitCentre.png) -

- - Example for Location Accounting - for GL Location segment MON we will create the GL Accounts needed for Sales (GL accounts 11302,41200 and 71200 already exist, so copy them adding the ‘MON’ segment): - 11302/MON - Inventory at Cost - Accessories - Montreal - 41200/MON - Sales - Accessories - Montreal - 71200/MON - Cost of Goods Sold - Accessories - Montreal - see Sales Department 1 for Accessories (note, the GL Accounts do not contain the Location Segment ‘MON’) ![](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-58-34-17-PM.png) - login to Location **MON** - create a Sales Order for an item with Sales Department 1 ![](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-58-43-42-PM.png) - note the GL Transaction for this sale has automatically allocated the Accounts to Location MON ![](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-58-49-74-PM.png) - **Profit Center Segment** - choose which GL Segment (setup in the Segmentation tab) will represent the Profit Center, selectable for Financial reporting - this segment can be chosen at the time of each General Ledger transaction - this segment can be chosen in each Sales Order ![](https://cs.geminilogic.com/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2022-08-58-56-13-PM.png) - [Spire Systems - General Knowledge Base](https://cs.geminilogic.com/en/manual/spire-systems-general-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#main-content) -
