Updating a GL Account

You can update the details of a GL account in the GL Accounts master file, and you can delete accounts you no longer require. Note that you cannot change the account number, and you cannot delete accounts that have current transactions in the account and/or a current balance. In addition, Micronet does not allow you to delete an account that has any history in the current year. If you wish to discontinue using an account with history attached to it, change the Account Type to Closed.

To update or delete an account in the GL Accounts master file:

  1. Open the Account File Update screen for the account you want to update or delete.

Refer to "Accessing the GL Accounts Master File".

  1. Optionally, recall a GL account by selecting FILE | FIND.
  1. Update the account details on the following tabs as required:
  1. Select FILE | SAVE to save your changes.
  1. To delete the account displayed, select FILE | DELETE.
