The Sales and Purchase Ledgers have a utility option to change the account code this updates the account, transactions and links to any saved documents but doesn’t update the order files. This new option is designed to be used in conjunction with the account utility to update the account code changes to the sales/purchase orders.
On selection of this option you are warned ‘Ensure No
Other Users Online and You Are Ready to Commence’ – the procedure requires an
exclusive lock on the order header and detail databases. On confirmation you are asked for the old and
new account codes.
<F4-Select> is available to help you choose the old account code but you can enter an account that doesn’t exist for either the old or the new account codes – in this way you can update the orders either before or after you’ve updated the account code itself.
