You can install chart of accounts even after installing FA. The newly installed COAs can be used in subsequent creation of companies. All this can of course be done only from the Setup /Create Company Menu in the Default / Main Company (generally 0) only.

Thanks for the replies, lol.
nvm Ive sorted it thanks to the forsight of using a virtual machine and making snapshots of it.

For everyone else who might have done this, you need to install the Chart of Accounts (COA) DURING THE INITIAL WEBPAGE SETUP, you cant do it after.....as Ive found out alone.

is this still the same?
Ive created a company, but obviously didn't have a choice of COA until id, you know, created the company. How does one activate a newly installed COA?
Ive just done mine for Australia too.

Or modify the existing US COA install in the company by changing the entries - GL Accounts / Classes / Groups / Preferences, etc.

By default, the US chart of accounts is installed.
I've installed the Australian COA, but how can I be sure it is the Australian COA? What happens if I install multiple COA? Which one is used?
