Does anyone have any tricks/workarounds for changing an Account Type for an Account that has transactions already posted to it? Specifically, I want to change an account that was setup as an Accounts Payable account to an Other Current Liability accont so Vendor Bills and Expense Report can hit it on the debit side

I'd probably just create some new GL accounts & journal some $ around. Much less hassle.

thanks, yea that's what I suggested to the Accountant, but they weren't thrilled

That's only way to do it - I wouldn't go back and update JEs - great way to wind up with forked bank recs and unapplied customer/vendor payments
Though I do often fix this shortly after go live if there's not a lot of volume to deal with
I try to catch it as one of my checklist items

thanks Kevin, makes sense, i'll have to just put my foot down
