Message of Change G/L account

Important

If you want to change over a G/L account whose balance is not zero, then all entries ever posted are marked as open and receive a remaining amount. If you do not want this, first post the existing balance to a clearing account, then change over the account and subsequently post back the value from the clearing account. In this case, only this entry is marked as open.
