What if client does not need a balancing segment?What if they want to keep the whole ledger balanced (DEBIT=CREDIT) rather than each company within a ledger?

The client is one single company. There no balancing entities in reality. Client doesn'tt want to create one dummy company 01 as a work around. As this would cause a noise in data entry?.  There is no other segment that could be designated as a balancing segment like Department or Cost Center etc. This is what we want:ACCOUNT-UNIT-PROJECT Any suggestions?

Adding a company segment as your balancing segment and always having it as '01' is probably a good idea to future proof your chart of accounts.  If you acquire another company or decide to split into multiple companies later you will need this and for now having that extra segment doesn't really do any harm does it?
