Change GL Account numbers

Business Central/NAV
1

Hi all,

I am looking to change my entire chart of accounts from four characters to five. I’ve discovered that the change can be effected right on the account card and it rolls right through and corrects posting groups etc . Is there any reason that I shouldn’t do this? It seems so simple and effective as opposed to creating a new system with opening take-on balances etc.

Thanks, Ivor

Ivor,

You are good to go. No issues or reason to not complete this request. You are correct, on the Chart of Account card when you enter the new No. it will pop a message asking you to confirm the change. BC/NAV will then change every transaction recording using the old COA number to the new one.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the confirmation Steve.

This I think is a major step forward in our quest to restructure without major hassle.

Thanks again,

Ivor
