Renumbering G/L Accounts: FAQ

Can I add or delete accounts in the G/L account renumbering process?

No, you can only renumber and change the descriptions of delivered G/L accounts using the Renumber G/L Accounts configuration activity. You can't delete G/L accounts. However, you can add new G/L accounts after the renumbering has taken place by using the Manage G/L account Master Data app.
