I used the migration to transfer data and only too late learned what putting accounts down as system accounts means they basically can't be changed.

It would be great if I could reverse the system account and let my current assets be just current assets. I have asked several times what a system account does, but no-one at R1 seems able to advise, just that that is the way it is.

I have about 6 or so current assets which were labelled bank accounts in Reckon Accounts Desktop, and 2 credit card accounts. Only one bank account requires reconciling, the others either dormant or only have interest, so don't require reconciling. One credit card is dormant the other is used, but I can't use it like I did in Reckon A/cs desktop, so that defeats the purpose of it. I no longer reconcile that.

And I can't enter a payment I make to pay the card a/c balance through normal bank payments, it requires a special entry another way.

I have to do a journal entry to transfer funds from the GL bank a/c to the GL credit card a/c when the payment is actually a BPay.

So it would be great if you could fix this.

    Agreed.

    I have two gripes with the system bank accounts:

    a) I can't allocate a receipt or payment directly to another bank account. This means that withdrawals for petty cash replenishment are a messy process, and the (now-fading) procedure for stopping a cheque and replacing it is unnecessarily complex. Its modern equivalent of a failed payment due to having incorrect BSB and account details for the deposit, I have to handle offline from Reckon.

    b) as the OP says, we can't "un-designate" a bank account when it no longer needs to be reconciled
