Re: [SL] Once an item is added, the income account cannot be changed.

[J.P. P. <jp...@pi...>]

Yes I started trying to remove just one time and yes as you say it is
not possible. I understand because of the reporting.

I have not done many invoices with the products so I assume it would be
better to do this sooner than later before it really becomes a hassle to
do.

Are you certain if I replace all of the old invoices and ap's with the
new items in the correct accounts that I will be able to delete them? I
do not wish to have page full of obsolete items for now if not necessary
and if they are really not being used even in reports after I switch
them over.

Thanks for the response.
