Delete a General Ledger Account

You can delete accounts in both the GL Balance view and the Setup - All Settings view in the List tab.

You cannot delete an account if there are postings on it. Instead, you can use the Block option.

  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. Select the account to delete by clicking on it in the Chart of Accounts (COA) grid.
  4. On the grid toolbar, click Delete Account .
  5. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box to delete the account.
    The account is removed from the Chart of Accounts and from the COA grid.
