Accounts payable

Deactivate alternative Accounts Payable accounts

You can now prevent accidental postings by deactivating alternative Accounts Payable accounts that you no longer use. This applies even if the account has been used in a transaction or is the default account for a customer or supplier.

Previously, you received an error when deactivating an alternative account.

How it works

When you deactivate an alternative account, it no longer appears in the list of Accounts Payable accounts on the AP supplier invoice and AP Adjustment pages. Therefore, the account can no longer be used in these transactions.

You can deactivate an alternative account even if existing unpaid AP supplier invoices were posted to the account. But you'll need to set the account to active to process additional transactions for the AP supplier invoice, such as making payments.

You still cannot deactivate an account if it's selected as the Accounts Payable GL account on the Configure Accounts Payable page. Select a different GL account on the configuration page before deactivating the alternative account.
