Updating databases for general ledger accounts

After you change a default general ledger account or resource code, you can update the database for one organization at a time.

Before you begin

When you update the database, ensure that no one is using the system. Historical records are not updated.

1. In the Chart of Accounts application, select the organization whose database you want to update.
2. Select the Update Database action.
3. In the Update Database window, select one of the following updates:

   Option	Description
   Overwrite Blank Accounts Only	Use this option to overwrite blank GL Account fields
   Overwrite Accounts With Old Defaults	Use this option to overwrite accounts that have not been updated since being inserted.
   Overwrite All Accounts	Use this option to overwrite all relevant GL Account fields, including blank fields, with updated data.

4. Click OK.
