You can only combine accounts that are:

  • accounts of the same account type (for example, asset and expense accounts cannot be combined) and
  • detail accounts.

You cannot combine:

  • header accounts
  • accounts that are linked to other accounts
  • accounts that are associated with a job
  • accounts that are associated with bank feeds.

When accounts are combined, the non-transaction account information for the primary account—such as account name, description and bank details (for banking accounts)—is retained as the default information for the combined account. The transaction details and opening balance of the secondary account are added to the primary account. The secondary account will be removed and the account number can be reused.

Budgets and job budgets not combined

Budgets and job budgets for the secondary account are not added to the budgets and job budgets of the primary account. You will have to revise the budgets and job budgets of the primary account after combining them.
