Hello, When I first set up my accounts (for a local club) I knew very little about accounting and misinterpreted some information I was given by an accountant and ended up creating some sub-accounts in Accounts Receivable. I now know that was not the correct thing to do, and I should have created these accounts as straight-forward asset accounts.
Using gnucash I cannot change the account type for these accounts. When I use ctrl+e on these accounts I only see account type A/Receivable so I cannot change them through the GUI. I've compared the XML structure of one of these accounts with another simple asset account and they are the same except for the <act:type>, i.e.: <act:type>RECEIVABLE</act:type> versus <act:type>ASSET</act:type> I've tried editing this (on a copy) and simply changing RECEIVABLE to ASSET seems to work when I re-open the file. Once this is done I used gnucash to move the account to the correct place in the accounts hierarchy and all seemed well. Before I do this to all instances in my working file are there any potential adverse consequences that doing this could cause that I am not aware of? Thanks.
