Hi, @psn.

 

I'll share a few details about manually rearranging the account in the Chart of Accounts (COA). Where it was shared by my colleague, Angelyn_T in the earlier response.

 

Let's make sure that you only drag and place the parent account with the same account type like in the red box. Also, ensure to drag and drop the same subaccounts under a parent account like in the blue box.

 

Additionally, switching to a Hierarchical view will enable us to drag and drop the account while a Flat view disables us to make these changes.

 

However, if you get an odd error message that is different from one of these reasons below, I'd recommend utilizing the Re-sorting list feature to fix this. This way, it makes your lists go back to their default order and able them to rearrange.

 

  • This account must stay with other accounts of its type.
  • Subaccounts must be the same account type as their parent.
  • You cannot move the list element while the list in the "Flat" mode.

 

You'll want to know about the account types in COA, you can reference this article: Learn about the chart of accounts in QuickBooks.

 

Feel free to tag me if you have other concerns with organizing your accounts. I'll make sure to get back to you. Stay safe and healthy!
