Ledger 9.0B does not allow the type to be changed from if there is an opening balance in it. This is an issue that we are faced with on a fairly regular basis. Our client finance administrators often create and account with the wrong type. What are the solutions to this with the new version?

Hi Lyndon,

The best solution is to turn on and enforce account group ranges (added in Ledger 9.0A) so that this is impossible.

Just changing the type from Balance Sheet to Income Statement for an account with an opening balance is always a problem. You should journal the correction and make the account inactive. Alternatively, you could force the change using GridView Read-Write (but you'll need to be clear about what you're doing).
