The General Ledger Account Changes Menu provides options to change the characteristics of an account. This can be done by changing individual fields (1. GL Account Changes), changing the alias structure on many accounts (2. Mass Alias Update), or moving one or more accounts (3. General Ledger Move Menu). Other options available are: Capital Account Mass update (4) which allows you to update GL's as capital accounts for an automatic update to the Fixed Asset System, and the ability to Mass Delete (5) or Mass Lock/Unlock (6) GL accounts.
Note 1: Account # cannot be changed. If the account number is incorrect, delete and re-enter. If the account has transactions, use GL Move Menu.
Temporary Budget
This is an informational field only. It allows you to view the temporary budget for the specified GL. This field may not be modified.
Note: This functionality is also available in GL Account Changes and Deletions. In GL account changes, an update will update all fields on the GL, regardless of whether they were changed within the current session. As a result, the GL accounts will be identical in both years.
