Posted on by 215

Dears, 

I have a case where in for  one GL code the main account type is selected wrongly and transactions are posted against it, now when a year end closing has to perform user realized that the account type should be asset not the expense/Revenue,  i do have a option to change this account type and i can change in the system, system does not stop me however i am not sure what are the implications from the system perspective and is it advisable to do so or not..?,

Please advice if can change the Main account type or no..?

Thanks,

Nitin

    Hi Nitin,

    You can correct the account type with only one constraint. You have to check if there are automatic postings related to this account. Some posting ledger account setup like project costs account require a specific account type. If this account is only used for manual transactions then there is no issue to change it.
