Limits on Number of Organization Levels and Code Length

When you set up multiple companies in Deltek, keep in mind certain limits on your organization structure. These limits control the number of levels that you can establish and how many characters you can use in codes.

Level Limits

Only one first-level code can be in place for any company's organization structure. Deltek does not allow you to create more than one first-level code per company after you enable multiple companies.

Also, you cannot create more than five levels of organization structure. Therefore, if you already have an organization structure with five levels defined, you must restructure your codes and subcodes before adding the company level.

Code Length Limits

Deltek concatenates the codes for each of the organization levels. For example, DELTEK: BOS:ENG represents three levels, in which DELTEK is the company, BOS is the office, and ENG is the Discipline.

The total length of the full organization code for the company must be 14 characters or fewer. This total includes characters, digits, and delimiters.
