Changing enabled inactive accounts: If you need to make changes to items that aren't available for editing on enabled/inactive accounts, first disable the account, then you'll be able to make the changes.

Changing active accounts: If you need to change the account number and/or element value pairs, you'll need to create a new bank account. Changing the element value pairs on active accounts is prevented because that action could invalidate existing transactions.

Important! You can change the opening date and balance after you have reconciled the account one or more times, but you will be required to first undo all reconciliations to date. Click here for instructions.
