New chart of accounts

Post by jonathank » 04 Jun 2008, 13:29

As I suspect you're aware there isn't a utility for changing nominal account numbers.

The difficulty that you'll face with dropping the existing nominals and creating or importing a new set is that nominal account numbers pervade the data (customer and supplier defaults, sales orders, purchase orders etc). How much of a problem this is will depend on how much and what data you have.

One option that you do have is creating a new set of data by exporting, adjusting nominals, and reimporting accounts, transactions etc, but you do then lose history.

If you're really stuck we do have a utility and a process that allows in situ migration of nominal account numbers, but unfortunately our costs tend to be too high for many Line 50 users.

I do have quite a history and I'm half way through our year end. I prepare our management accounts and we are radically changing our cost perspective.

I'm not sure of the formats for exporting - I have a month to do this. I suspect I have a large task on my hands !
