Can I change the account code for Accounts Receivable?

Hi Margaret,

Australian Reckon One books have the following system accounts

Accounts Receivable
Accounts Payable
GST Payable
GST Collected
GST Paid
Payroll Payable
Super Payable
Opening Balance Equity
Retained Earnings Suplus/(accumulated losses)

* Payroll payable & Super Payable are only available in Australian books that have the payroll module enabled.

These system accounts are read and you currently cannot update the account codes for these accounts.

I will submit your feedback to the Reckon One development team requesting for account codes to be editable for system accounts. I will also submit your feedback regarding the account code option currently not being available in bank accounts.

In regards to creating a new account to use as a replacement for a system account, I'll use the system A/R account as an example. 

Reckon One is hard coded to use the system A/R account to track debtor/customer transactions (invoices, customer adjustment notes & receipts). The debtor/customer ageing reports are also hard coded to use the system A/R account.

If you look at the system A/R account in the chart of accounts (asset tab), you’ll see that it uses a special account type ‘Accounts receivable’. When you manually create a new account in R1, you can create asset, liability, equity & bank accounts but you cannot create accounts using the type 'Accounts receivable' or 'Accounts payable'.
