Here are some steps you can follow: 1. Identify the accounts to be merged: You need to identify which accounts you want to merge. Make sure to review the transactions in these accounts to ensure that they should indeed be merged. 2. Use SuiteScript to initiate the merge: If the volume of historical transactions is large, you might encounter errors when trying to merge the accounts via the UI. In this case, you can initiate the merge via a SuiteScript. This can avoid the error since a script will normally run for an hour before being forced to end. You can also run it during overnight hours when more system resources are available. 3. Test the script with one account first: Before running the script on all accounts, test it with one account to see if it works as expected. This can help you avoid potential issues with the merge. 4. Execute the merge operation: The script should execute the merge operation in the same way that it's initiated via the UI. You're not replicating the merge process, simply executing it via script. Remember, merging accounts is a significant action that can have a big impact on your financial reports, so it's important to be careful and double-check everything before proceeding.
