You can change type of cash account to bank account and revert it when the reubild is done. This can be done only via direct manipulation on bank_accounts.bank_type field using phpmyadmin (FA block the account type change just to avoid negative balance problems).

No unfortunately not. Maybe you could create a temporary insertion into the bank account to do the operations and lastly counter book the insertion. Of course using the correct dates.

Allow negative balance in Cash Accounts

Hi there,

I need to rebuild my journal from a previous backup to the current date. I am doing this by reposting from bank statements and written input data.

Due to timing of the transactions, I run into problems with the cash accounts in FA attempting to go negative. This, naturally, is trapped, since in the real world a cash account shouldnt go negative.

However, trying to resolve the timing differences between 15 assorted bank accounts is a nightmare, so I want to enable FA to let the cash accounts go negative. Is there a module I can alter to disable this trap?

Regards

Brian
