Hello georg102,

 

When an account is used in a transaction such as an invoice, payroll setuo, etc., it can't be deleted. For the reason that the system needs this account to be zeroed before deleting. This way, the reports won't get messed up. 

 

To delete the transactions, click on the View register link. Select a transaction and click on Delete. They must be deleted one at a time. Also, if this account is used for your payroll items, you can change the accounting preferences from the Payroll Settings. Here's how:

  1. Click on the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Payroll Settings.
  3. Under Preferences, choose Accounting.
  4. Look for the payroll item associated with this account and change it to another account.
  5. Click on OK.

Let us know if you have any questions.
