The Delete live ledger function deletes all ledger codes, budgets, history, detail transactions and group codes of the selected company's General Ledger. For this reason we recommend that you take a backup or make a copy of the current general ledger tables/files.
If you used the GL Structure Definition program to structure your General Ledger codes and you selected the Section analysis required option from the GL Structure Definition program, then the Rebuild Analysis History screen is displayed after processing is complete.
This screen enables you to rebuild your General Ledger analysis history tables/files based on your existing General Ledger history and budget tables/files. (see Rebuild Analysis History).
Analysis categories defined against the source ledger codes are ignored when copying the chart of accounts. This means that if the G/L analysis required option is enabled against ledger codes in the source company (Browse on General Ledger Codes) then this option is not set to selected against the ledger codes in the target company.
If you require G/L analysis for ledger codes in the target (current) company, then you need to define this manually after the copy is complete.
