Chart of Account renumbering after transactions in the system?

[AdamP]

Hi,

We have done some postings in the system and the customer would like to change the accounts from 8 digits to 6 digits. 

What will happen if we do a renumbering of G/L accounts on the operating G/L accounts? Will we face any issues or we will current transactions change account from 8 digit to 6 digit with their current value on the transactions in the system?

All the best,

Adam

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for reply. We can see that we can not change posted accounts.

We will have to renumber in test with fresh accounts and then refresh the custom system with the test system. 

Allt gott,
Adam
