The number of the general ledger account to be changed.

 

New code

The new number for the account.

 

Description

The optional new description for the account.

 

Updating referrals

When general ledger account numbers are changed, the complete database needs to be searched in order to find all referrals to the numbers concerned. Those will have to be changed as well. This may take some time.

 

Creating and Merging account numbers

If a new account number does not exist, it will be created with the same details as the old account number.

If a new account number already exists, the old account will be merged with the existing one, leaving the details of the latter untouched.

The old account number will be deleted in both situations.

 

Service company

Please keep in mind that articles, creditors, debtors, and some bookkeeping settings are shared between service companies.

When a general ledger is renamed that is used for one of these shared settings the account will be changed, so you also need to rename the general ledger in all other service companies.
