Hello,

Has anyone found a way to reset or reorganize the G/L accounts? We are running out of account numbers and do not know a way to reorganize them. 

Thanks,

Anthony

Another swag ... there may be a "nuclear option" which is to create a new COA.
possibly MAP old COA to new COA - if necessssary
then change the MASTER to the NEW COA 

there will be lots of work to flush and clear out active transactions.
in the end ... it is possible, but not a small task

Oh, that is nuclear. AND I think our finance guy did a lot of work to change the descriptions to his liking. I could save them via BAQ and maybe DMT them back in after running the Rebuild Account Descriptions…

Thanks Alfred!

also note; if you are just hurting for a new batch of GL accounts to post against ... like in a subgroup  .. it IS possible to add another optional segment to the COA, create segment values and POST against GL accounts with those segments on them ...
