Account type Error

Posted on by Jorge Btc 115

Hi,

I created a new main account in AX 2012 CU12 R3.

I made a mistake, I selected Profit and loss as Main Account type, I want to change it to Total but I'm getting an error, I'm trying to delete the account but I'm getting an error too for the same reason.

It is a new account and it doesn´t have transactions yet.

Any idea?

    If I remember it correctly then this is a bug in one of the older R3 versions. You can either try getting this resolved through a hotfix or with the help of a developer. In case you need a quick fix, suspend the use of this account and create a new one. Best regards, Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you for your reply. I did some research and I found next post:

    stoneridgesoftware.com/i-cant-delete-an-account-in-my-dynamics-ax-chart-of-accounts

    It worked for me, I already changed the Account Type.

    Best regards.

    Jorge.
