Notes and warnings

Coding considerations

  • Special characters in the ledger code (e.g. an apostrophe) can prevent the code from being converted.

  • All data must be valid before you can start processing.

Restrictions and limits

  • Only the existing ledger code(s) in the current company are changed, regardless of whether you are sharing General Ledgers across companies.

  • The conversion is aborted if a table/file is in use.
