Is it possible to create multiple GL structure within Maximo?
Lets say I have ORGID = xxxxxx and ORGID = yyyyyy
I want the structure for ORG xxxxxx to look like this:
1234-56-789
And I want the structure for ORG yyyyyy to look like this:
1-234-56-789
Under "GL Account configuration in database configuration, I do not see the option to setup gl components by ORG.
Any advise would be appreciated.
7.5 now supports different structures for each org

Thanks Ian, I am on 7.5 but do not see where you can define the components by org. Can you provide any more details?
Since the account structure is different – you will need 2 different databases.
The other thing you can do is to define your main 3 segments (from the example you mentioned) as Required and then define the fourth segment as being optional and this will be entered only for the Org yyyyy.
You define your GL Account Structure through the Database Configuration application – select action menu – “GL Account Configuration” action

After further investigation, I see that the thought process is a bit different than I was expecting. You must configure the individual components to the maximum possible length for all organizations. I was expecting to be able to configure different lengths for each org.
So given my previous example I could set the GL components to:
COMP1 = 4
COMP2 = 3
COMP3 = 2
COMP4 = 3
I have chosen to configure as follows to allow for future organizations
COMP1 = 10
COMP2 = 10
COMP3 = 10
COMP4 = 10
I think this is the right method and will test to confirm my assumptions.
