You can print a list of accounts used in earlier fiscal years when 
you print the chart of accounts. In the Home window, on the 
Reports menu, select Lists, then Chart of Accounts. Select the 
years you want to include, then click OK. 

You can also print a list of unrelated accounts, to see which of 
your accounts should be related to accounts in the current year. 
On the Reports menu, choose Management Reports, then 
General, then Unrelated Historical Accounts. The report lists 
accounts that are not related to any accounts in the current chart 
of accounts.  

1.  In the Accounts window, open the account you want to 

relate to other, older accounts. 

2.  On the Related Historical Accounts tab, select a fiscal year, 

then enter an account.  

3.  Close the Chart of Accounts Records window.  

If you delete an account, the relationship between accounts from 
the previous year and accounts in the current year is lost. The 
balances from related accounts in earlier years will not appear on 
multi-period reports, so the reports may be out of balance. To 
maintain the relationship between current and past accounts, 
and thus ensure that you can print meaningful comparative 
reports, be sure to set up a new relationship on the Related 
Historical Accounts tab.  

If you need to delete an account, we recommend that you 
renumber it, rename it ”Deleted Account,” and check the Omit 
From Financial Statements If Balance Is Zero box in the account 
record. This will maintain the relationship between past and 
current charts of accounts and ensure that the multi-period 
reports balance.
