Topic: How do you delete or change Account Codes?

Is this possible? Currently, the field seems uneditable once a new GL account is created.

I want to change the default hierarchy and coding numbers as I would like to add multiple levels of codes.

Re: How do you delete or change Account Codes?

If there are transactions on the account you cannot delete it.
Neither can you delete it if it is a system account. You will first have to change the value of the system account.
You can, however, deactivate an account.

Re: How do you delete or change Account Codes?

Thanks Joe. I tried to search for transactions associated with the account using Journal enquiries and nothing comes up. Is there an way to find all the transactions and delete them? Then delete the account?

Also which accounts would be considered system account?

You can still not delete an account if there have been  transactions. This is due to the audit trail.

You can see the system accounts in Setup tab, System and General GL Setup.
