      Important: Changing accounts can have unexpected effects on the General Ledger. Unless you are an experienced accountant and understand how/when General Ledger transactions are created, we recommend consulting your accountant or a support consultant prior to changing accounts. Reserved accounts such as Client Deposits, Vendor Deposits, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Inventory cannot be changed.
