Block general ledger accounts
There are general ledger accounts that I don't want used anymore. How can I block them so that staff don't accidentally post to them?

Hi dinky
Although you cannot specifically “block” an account, you can mark the account as inactive. You can do this by opening the account in the Accounts list and then selecting Inactive Account.
This will hide that account number from drop down lists within the program, preventing users from choosing them when recording transactions. Do note however that if a user enters in the account number, the transaction will still go through. You can mitigate this by changing the account number to free it up for later on.
For example you may want to renumber the accounts you no longer want used to going backwards from 9999. This will stop the account number being used, until its been replaced by another account
