GL Administrator Change Account Number Report ranges and options

Options

Enter Old Division #
Department, Account, and Specify the division number of the account code(s) to change. To change all account codes within a division, leave the Subaccount options blank.
Caution: 
If an entire division number changes, this report can become quite lengthy. This is especially true if you change the division over a range of years and the division contains a large number of account codes. You should start the report in the evening during low processing hours. Vendor Setup, Customer Setup, and Product GL Distribution Setup allow wildcards (*) for divisionalized accounting. If you change account codes for all divisions and wildcards are used, the account numbers are updated in Vendor Setup, Customer Setup, and Product GL Distribution Setup. If only one division is changed, account codes without wildcards in those areas are not changed and possible operation errors result. Therefore, if your company uses divisionalized accounting and wildcards, leave the old and new division numbers blank.
Generally, you specify a division in combination with a specific department number and account number.
Note: If you are using divisionalized accounting and want to change all account codes with a 0 division number to a new division number, specify 999999999Specify the division number of the account code(s) to change. (nine nines) in the Old Division # option. Then specify 999999999 (nine nines) for the division number you want zero-division account codes changed to in the New Division # option.
New Division #

Specify the new division number. Specify 999999999 (nine nines) in this field to change the division to or from 0.

The same warning applies here as for the Old Division #.
