Deleting account group or tax account group allocations

Account group allocations can be deleted at a practice or client level. When you delete an account group allocation, the account is unallocated from the account group and returned to the Chart of Accounts table to be re-allocated to another account group.

At a practice level, a deleted account group allocation will affect all clients of a selected industry type. That is, the account group allocation is removed for all clients of that industry type. The Account Groups option must be accessed from the Practice Report Settings to delete account group allocations at a practice level. See Accessing account groups.

At a client level, a deleted account group allocation will affect only the selected client. That is, the account group allocation is removed for the selected client only. The Account Groups option must be selected from the client’s Client Accounting > Reports tab to delete account group allocations at a client level. See Accessing account groups. You can also unallocate accounts that have been allocated to any custom account groups.

Pre-defined account groups cannot be deleted.
