Use this dialog to renumber a range of general ledger accounts.
When the Setup > Chart of Accounts window is active, choose Renumber Accounts from the Edit menu or from the F3 or right-click context menu.
Note: You must be in Browse mode (rather than Add or Edit mode) to access any of the options or dialogs that are available from the Edit menu or the right-click context menu when the Chart of Accounts window is active.
Fields & buttons
You may choose either to renumber a range of accounts or an individual account.
Specify the range of accounts that you want to renumber by selecting the starting and ending account numbers from the drop-down lists, or select the individual account to renumber.
Individual Account
Enter the new account number in the Beg. Acct. field.
Range of Accounts
In the New Accounts box, specify the number that you would like the renumbered accounts to begin with and the amount to increment each successive account.
- Beg. Acct.
Enter the new beginning account number for the range of accounts that you are renumbering. The new account number must be unique.
- Increment #
Enter a whole number value between 1 and 10,000 to specify how many numbers to separate each renumbered account with.
Example: Assume that you want to renumber accounts 100 - 110 and to increment each number by 5. Enter 100 in the first field in the Accounts to Renumber group box, and enter 110 in the second field. Next, enter a new beginning account number in the Beg Acct. field, keeping in mind that the number must be unique and that there must be sufficient space to accommodate the new account numbers without overlapping existent account numbers. Enter 5 in the Increment # field.
