Control accounts

You can't add or remove a Control account ledger for a transaction using Correct Transactions. Accounting automatically assigns ledgers such as bank accounts, trade debtors, trade creditors and VAT. Find out more about Control Accounts.

Analysis types

Ensure the transaction type matches changing the analysis type. For example, you can't switch the analysis type on a purchase invoice to one configured only for sales. Find out more about Analysis types. 

Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) transactions

You can't use this to switch to or from any CIS ledger accounts because we use the CIS ledger accounts to make CIS deductions. Learn about How CIS transactions update your ledger accounts.
