Merging GL accounts that are 1099 accounts
Over time, a few GL accounts were duplicated ... meaning that more than one account was created to track the same expense ... and I would like to merge them in the same way we can merge customers or vendors. However, it appears there is some restriction because these accounts are flagged as 1099 accounts for tax reporting purposes.
Looking for guidance on the process I would need to follow to enable me to merge expense GL accounts that might be flagged as 1099 accounts.
Additionally, ... a separate action to be taken a little later ... I will be re-organizing the COA by renumbering several of the accounts in the GL. Past actions in the GL didn't necessarily follow the standard format of numbering, so we now have some revenue accounts in the sequence of equity accounts, expense and other expense intermixed, etc. Will I encounter problems in changing the GL numbers if the account is a 1099 account?
As an aside, I have made a suggestion (in Feedback) to change the way that 1099 assignment is made: instead of the current process where the assignment is made from looking at a randomly sorted list, it would be much quicker and easier to make the assignment in the normal editing process, and especially if we could use the "add/edit multiple list ..." feature like with Customer and Vendor. If any of you agree with that, it might be helpful if you also express interest in that change.
As always, I do thank you for any assistance, suggestions, explanations where I may misunderstand something, whatever guidance you may offer.
