Deactivating GL Accounts

Use the Edit GL Account window to deactivate both postable and non-postable accounts.

Deactivating postable accounts prevents posting to that account. You can deactivate an income statement account with a current balance, but you cannot deactivate a balance sheet account with a current balance.

Deactivating non-postable accounts prevents that account from being displayed on reports.

A GL Account cannot be deactivated if:

if it is a supplier's Default GL Account for Non-Inventory Purchases

To deactivate an account

Navigate to General Ledger > Manage > Chart of Accounts.
The Manage Chart of Accounts window opens.

From the Chart of Accounts list, select the account to deactivate and then click Edit.
The Edit GL Account window opens.

Clear the Active? check box to deactivate the account.

Tip
