account not in logical order - please help

SOLVED

Hello,

I just had this problem. I have an account 4380 Gain/Loss that I changed from Group heading to Group Account. After I changed it, I made an entry for this account. When i ran a report, it now says that account is not in logical order and I couldn't print any reports. I tried to delete or set it to inactive account but it won't allow me coz there is already an account balance in this account 4380. My question is can I change account 4379 (as our original net sales - group total) to other account number (i.e. 4378), then use 4379 to Gain/Loss as a group heading then delete the 4380? Do you think this can be solve the problem?

Thank you.

    I have to admit that is an interesting Group Heading name.

    If your chart does not already have an account numbered 4378, you should be able to renumber 4379 (a T account), to 4378 and then add a new account at 4379 as a Group Heading.  That should fix up your chart so you can see your financials again.

    When you changed the type of account from H to G, didn't you get a warning?  You should have been told then that your accounts were not in logical order.
