Account Change Request
Allows you to change expenditure and revenue account codes. Both the old and the new account must exist and be active. As these account codes are changed, the original accounts will remain on the system, but with an inactive status. User is restricted from applying a new Account Change job if an existing account change job is currently in progress. Error message will indicate that an Existing Account Change job is currently in progress.

When the account change is processed, it changes all of the related transactions and merges the account figures for the current FY only. This preserves the prior years' transactions and account figures for the old account so that accurate historical reports can be run retroactively for prior fiscal years. |

Restrictions:
- The 'From Account' account and the 'To ' accountAccount' s SCC must be in the same range (0000-8999) or (9xxx). If the SCC on the old account is between 0000-8999, this account belongs to a fund with a SCC of 0000 so the new account must also have a SCC between 0000-8999.
