After you enter accounts you can change, edit, and update any account. In some cases you might choose to assign the account to a reporting group or change the group the account is in. You might even choose to enter a more detailed or specific description. In any case, it is important to keep in mind how these changes impact your total chart of accounts and how previously posted information might be different.

You can edit accounts at any time and the only thing that you are unable to change is the account number directly in the GL Accounts window. If you need to change an account number, you need to select Account > Renumber GL Accounts from the General Ledger menu bar (see Renumbering Accounts).
