As always we recommend that thorough testing in a non-live environment is undertaken before commencing an upgrade.

Issue

If a GL Account section is setup as ‘Balance Sheet’ with no Balance Sheet type selected, any changes made to the EXO Config > Essential > GL, EXO recalculates and updated GL accounts based on their BALANCE_SHEET_TYPE and forces their SECTION to match.

Manually change SECTION to what it should be
