1. On the main toolbar, click Finance & Administration .
2. In the left pane of the Finance & Administration window, click General Ledger > Chart of Accounts.
3. On the List tab, locate and select the account that you want to block.
4. Click Sidebar at the right side of the grid toolbar.
5. Click Account Settings if the account settings page of the Sidebar is not displayed.
6. Select the Blocked check box on the Account Settings page.
