This function can be used when a new Account file is implemented. The routine will automatically replace an account with a new account number according to your definitions.
In the manual entry routine, the account number will be automatically changed if the old number is entered. For transactions that are created in batch, the account number is changed in the update routine. The account number replacement is done before any account number completion and pricing. See About working with pricing and About working with account completion.
All transactions that are created in connection with the updating (pricing, calculations, redistributions) are also handled in the account replacement routine. The change will be printed on the G/L transaction detail journal.
Apart from setting up the account number replacement in the Account file you must also allow account number replacement for the voucher type you intend to use.
Note: Account number replacement is always performed before any account number completion.
An account can only be replaced by one that is already set up in the Account file. The system permits account replacement for all account dimensions.
