Global Change Account Codes - Utilities

Within the purchase ledger the facility exists to change an account code on an individual basis or for several at a time. This option only changes the account code recorded on the accounts and transaction files, meaning you have to ensure that there are no active orders for an account when you change it and you lose your order history for the account.

This option allows you to use the same ‘change’ database - used when changing several accounts on the ledger - to change the accounts on the order databases as well.

When selected you are asked to choose the database that contains the list of account codes to change, <F4-Select> is available if required.

You are warned to ensure that no other users are using the system (or at least using this particular company’s order files). When confirmed the system reads through the change accounts database and updates the new account codes to the purchase order header and detail files.
