Hi Community,
 
I would like to find out how if accounts realize that one of the GL account has been set wrongly and they want to change the GL account of a particular COA to another GL accounts. How should she do it?
 
For example, maybe the GL account is 1050, and she wants to input 2030 instead. How does she transfer all the transactions from 1050 to 2030?
 
Please help provide screenshots and step by steps in layman terms. 
 
Thank you !

    I'd create a new journal entry with the following lines:
    Debit: GL account 2030 (for the amount you want to transfer)
    Credit: GL account 1050 (for the same amount)

    You'll have to create general journal entries to transfer the balance from the first account to the 2nd account. For example, if the balance of the first account is a debit of $1,000, you would create an entry that credits this account for $1,000 and debits the 2nd account for $1,000.
