Simply Accounting also prevents you from changing certain 
account information: 

■ 

You cannot change the number of an account once a 
transaction has been processed against it and it has a 
balance. However, once you clear transaction details, you 
can change the number. 

■ 

If you change the number of a linked account that has no 
associated transactions, the new number must be within the 
same section of the chart of accounts (for example, asset 
accounts must be within the 1000 to 1999 range). 

■ 

To change a subgroup or group account to a group heading, 
subgroup total, or group total, you must delete the account, 
then re-enter it with the new account type. 

You can change information within a record with certain 
exceptions. See the previous section for more information. 

Note:  If you are changing accounts, you can use the Modify 
Accounts wizard to automate this process. From the Setup menu, 
choose Wizards, and then Modify Accounts. 

1.  In the Home window, click the icon for the window in which 

you want to change information. 

2.  Open the record you want to change, and make any changes. 

 

Save 

3.  Choose Save from the File menu. 

4.  Print a report for your records. For example, if you changed 

a customer, print a Customer List. 

If you stop doing business with a vendor, you may want to 
remove it from your records. However, Simply Accounting 
prevents you from removing information that would affect your 
accounting. Refer to the following table for information on when 
you can remove records.
