A question about Move/Merge

Post by MarkAndrew »

When the move function is used. the account that transactions were moved from doesn't go away. We were thinking that once the accounts were merged that there would be only one account. It seems like you still have to delete the account thats no longer going to be used.

Is that true or am I doing something wrong

Thanks,
Mark

When you move the account, it is moving that account in that particular fund. You will see, after moving the account, that the "This account is used in the following funds" area of the screen is empty, or is at least missing the entry for the fund you just moved the account in.

If the account is only used in one fund, you can just change the account number, rather than going through the move account process. This method, however, doesn't let you merge two accounts together.

Basically, in answering your question, yes, you have to delete the major account that is now not used in any funds.
