Problem With Current Assets

[Adrien Monteleone]

Did you try putting it back in it’s original place and trying again?

I’ve encountered this error before, but sadly do not recall what triggered it or how I fixed it. I think I slightly recall it had something to do with similar naming, but I could be mistaken.

My instinct though would be to double check the types of each account and make sure they are correct. There might be a check against placing non-asset accounts under other asset accounts for example. Perhaps the account in question somehow is of the wrong type.

Regards,
Adrien

In attempting to place the various banks under "Banks", one of my accounts got accidentally placed under another bank and I cannot figure out how to undo it.  When I try to change the parent account I get a message "you must choose a valid parent account".
