Unlinking bank account linked to cheque payments

Hi,

I have created two new MYOB files in Account Right. I imported the accounts list from another MYOB file into both of the new files.

The current assets account, is a header account in all other files we have, however in the 2 new files it is a detail account and I cannot make it a header account becuase it is linked to "cheque payments".

Can you please show me the steps to unlink it. I have tried looking at posts in the community without success.

  Hi Princess R...
  
  This trick does not work anymore as "Chq Payments" is not linked anywhere that I can find.
  That said I can not find HOW to change the setup to a preferred bank account number and not use the default of Code 11000

    Hi Warren01,
    
    To update the preferred bank account and avoid the default (e.g., code 1100), you can follow these steps:
    
    1. Check the linked bank account:
    
    Go to Setup > Linked Accounts > Accounts & Banking.
    
    Review the bank account for Cheque Payments (or similar).
    
    Update this to the correct account you wish to use.
    
    2. Confirm the account in the Chart of Accounts:
    
    Go to Accounts > Accounts List.
    
    Locate the preferred bank account to ensure it's active and ready for use.
    
    3. Review and Save:
    
    Ensure all changes are correct.
    
    Save the changes to update the system settings.
    
    For more detailed guidance, you can refer to this link.
