We’re proposing a new feature that allows users to deactivate GL account codes, removing them from use in future transactions while retaining their historical data for reporting and audit integrity. Once deactivated, a GL code will no longer appear in selection lists for journals, invoices, or other postings - reducing the risk of misclassification or accidental use of obsolete accounts. This change will help streamline data entry, improve chart of accounts governance, and support ongoing GL structure clean-up without affecting prior period reporting. Reactivation options may also be included to provide flexibility as business needs evolve.
Our school is extremely frustrated by the noticeable lack of progress on feature requests within this portal. Many highly requested enhancements have remained unaddressed for years, despite ongoing demand from users. This prolonged lack of development has led to growing dissatisfaction and concerns about whether customer feedback is being adequately considered in the product roadmap.
If other users share these concerns and would be interested in establishing an independent forum to discuss common issues, priorities, and collective engagement with the provider, please feel free to contact me directly at d.moss@hamptonschool.org.uk.
In favour of GL code deactivation with the proviso that there is an option to reactivate later if needed.
