Setup of a computer system that executes an accounting program

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions executable by one or more processors to improve setup of a server that executes an accounting program, the plurality of instructions comprising:

• instructions to one or more computers or the server to receive a name of an account of a specific type to be setup in the accounting program;
• instructions to the one or more computers or the server to receive a specific value to be used to identify the account uniquely, among accounts of the specific type;
• instructions to the one or more computers or the server to use the name of the account to automatically obtain N values that respectively identify N entities of an organization;
• instructions to the one or more computers or the server to repeatedly use a pattern of segments defining an identifier that is segmented, at least by inserting the specific value into one segment of the pattern and one of the N values into another segment of the pattern, to obtain N identifiers;
• instructions to the one or more computers or the server to store N tuples in a table in a non-transitory memory, each of the N tuples being stored in a row of the table, the table comprising a first column for the identifier of the account and a second column for the name of the account;
• and
• instructions to the server to execute at least one initialization procedure, to set up N accounts in the accounting program, based on the N tuples.

A system comprising one or more processors coupled to one or more non-transitory storage media comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to improve setup of a server that executes an accounting program, the system being configured to:

• receive a name of an account of a specific type to be setup in the accounting program;
• receive a specific value to be used to identify the account uniquely, among accounts of the specific type;
• use the name of the account to automatically obtain N values that respectively identify N entities of an organization;
• repeatedly use a pattern of segments defining an identifier that is segmented, at least by inserting the specific value into one segment of the pattern and one of the N values into another segment of the pattern, to obtain N identifiers;
• store N tuples in a table in a memory, each of the N tuples being stored in a row of the table, the table comprising a first column for the identifier of the account and a second column for the name of the account;
• and
• execute at least one initialization procedure, to set up N accounts in the accounting program, based on the N tuples.
