Edit Department for account - 11/21/22 12:19 PM

Hello

We recently found that when we created an account in the end of 2021 we missed including an account number.
We have closed the year so is there any way to go back and add that department number to an account without one now so that it will print correctly on reports and financials as a comparitive?

Thanks

Hi Braedon:

You cannot change GL account codes (just like you can't change Customer codes, Vendor codes or Inventory items) but there is a 3rd-party utility you can purchase that will allow you to make the change (see your Adagio consultant).

Or you could create the correct GL account (Account + Department) and make a Prior Year post to transfer the year-end balance from the wrong account to the correct one. If that doesn't sound familiar, ask your Adagio consultant. Make the wrong account Inactive afterwards.

The first option is cleaner and gives better results; the second option is less expensive.
