Cause

The GL Accounts on a Charge Code need to be updated.



Resolution
  1. Navigate to the Accounts Receivable Charge Codes program either by searching or via the following path: General or Property Revenues > Accounts Receivable > Setup > Accounts Receivable Charge Codes

  2. Click Search.

  3. Enter the Year, Code, and Category for the Charge Code.

  4. Click Accept.

  5. Select the Accounts tab.

  6. Click Update.

  7. Enter the desired new account(s).

  8. Click Accept.

    1. IMPORTANT: If it is desired that the GL Accounts also be updated on bills for the same year that use this Charge Code, then the Update Bill Accounts function must be run. If the Update Bill Accounts function is not run, then activity entered against bills created prior to the GL Accounts being updated on the Charge Code will continue to make use of the old GL Accounts. For all resources on the Update Bill Accounts function, including how to run it, please see the following collection of articles: Master Article - Update Bill Accounts in Charges Codes program

      1. Similarly, to update Recurring Invoices that utilize the Charge Code, run the Update Invoices function. Please see this article for more information: How to Mass Update Charge Code Changes to Recurring Invoices
