Enter the Old GL number, then the New GL number, if this is a Control Account (Master Account for Payables or Receivables etc.), enter <Y> in the "Is this a control account : :" entry field.
IMPORTANT Notice:
You have to plan you changes carefully, you need to change the numbers so that you don't accidentally merge two or more accounts together.
e.g.
105 110
110 115
in this example 105 will change to 110, the 110 (which includes the 105 records) will change to 115. That will merger bothe accounts together. The correct way to change the account numbers is:
110 115
105 110
so that 110 changes before you change 105 to 110.
You can change an account number to an existing number, if you want to merge two accounts together.
