Transfer history in a GL Code to a new GL.

In the General Ledger, I would like to transfer history in a GL Code to a new GL. The new account will not have been used before, just trying to clean up the books. Is there a way to do this?I have looked at Utilities/Change accounts, but am not sure this is the correct spot.

    You can use the GL Change Utility.  It can "renumber" to a new non-existing GL Account or it can Merge Two existing accounts together.  Be sure to key in Starting and Ending GL Account as the same value, and do this Change to one GL account per line (don't use a range of GL Accounts).  Do in a Test company first and confirm you have a good backup before making this change in your live data.  It is not easy to correct if you do the process incorrectly.

    Where do I find the GL Change Utility? I've moused around and don't see it. A bogus account number was accidentally created and it changed our account history back to 2011 and removed all the expense for the original account number; even though the new bogus account was mapped to the correct expense.

    Please let me know if this isn't available in Sage 50. I stated that was my program, but this appears to be for Sage 100.
