Edit an Element in a Structure

You can edit all fields except the name for an element in an undefined account structure. Once you've accepted the account structure, you can no longer edit the mask.

Note: Although you can make an element static after accepting the account structure, we don't recommend this action. Your existing general ledger entries may not balance within the new static elements, and there is no easy way to tell why it is out of balance.

1. Select Structure Maintenance from the Chart of Accounts menu, and the Structure Maintenance window opens.

2. Select the structure whose element you want to edit from the Structure pull-down list, and that structure is displayed.

3. Click the element's Name link, or check the box for the element, and click the Edit button at the top of the Elements grid. The Add/Edit Element window opens.

4. Edit the Description, Input Mask, and Static fields as needed, and click Save.
