FAQ: I need to change the descriptions for several account numbers (or reference pieces) in General Ledger; is there a quick way to do this?

Yes, use the Change Descriptions option to quickly update or change the descriptions for the account numbers in the Chart of Accounts or the descriptions for the reference pieces in the Reference Files (applicable for all Reference Files except the Fund File). When completing the Change Descriptions option, the descriptions can be updated to all be in uppercase or capitalize the first letter in each word, in addition to individually editing the descriptions manually within a list.

The Change Descriptions option is accessed under the Options menu within the Chart of Accounts File or the Options menu within the applicable Reference File.

For step-by-step instructions on completing the Change Descriptions option, refer to the Changing Descriptions topic in the Help File.
