View source for How do I supersede an account?

== Summary ==
The following article explains how you can supersede an account in Platinum.

== More Information ==
There may be times when you need to supersede either a customer or a supplier account.  This may be for several reasons, e.g. incorrectly created account code or duplicated account code.

When an account is superseded you will be forced to use the new account in place of the old one.  If there are still transactions on the old account please deal with these before superseding the account.

The following will show how to supersede an account on the {{SL}}. The process for the {{PL}} is much the same.

* Go to {{Menu|Accounts\System|{{SL}}|Customer File Maintenance| Add or Edit Customers}}.
* At {{DataPrompt|Search On:}}, enter the name of the customer you wish to supersede.
* Once found, press {{KeyPress|F5}} to edit the customer.
* Select the {{Tab|Invoicing}} tab.
* At the {{DataPrompt|Superseded by:}} field, enter in the account code of the customer to supersede to.
* Click {{Button|Done}} and {{KeyPress|Accept}} to save the record.
