GL_Segment_Number is a mandatory field.

You may set up validation for different combinations within the predefined segments. For example: You have defined your distribution mask as ????-??-??? (Division - Cost Centre- Account). You would like to indicate that there are only certain accounts that work with certain cost centres.
Those cost centres are defined by the last three numbers in the cost centre segment. Once those three numbers are defined, you will have a selection of accounts defined by the entire account segment.
