You can only use divisions for engagements designated to use a divisional account structure.
All of an engagement's accounts must match the divisional mask exactly for you to be able to use division features. If your client provides a trial balance with account numbers that don’t have the same number of characters, you'll need to add characters (such as zeros) to use this structure as intended.
You can use divisions to refine trial balance views and for reporting purposes. For example, you could define divisions for locations, departments, units, funds, projects, cost centers, and activities.
