Is there a way to outright prevent posting to inactive GL accounts? Currently copying a transaction with an inactive account just displays an ignorable warning

I wonder what the point of deactivating an account even is lol (given that you can still post to it)

It prevents creating new transactions with that account, but you can get around it by coping existing transactions

According to this SuiteAnswer it's an enhancement: <https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/97068/kw/copy%20inactive>

Can probably script something. Though I'd probably add a custom date driven field for handling it.

I.e. Transactions created/dated before this date can be edited even with this account - but if any accounts on the JE are inactive, and someone tries to use it - return an error.
