Make changes to the current year chart and update the cross-references. If you delete any accounts from the Federal Chart, the system removes the cross-references for those accounts automatically. If these accounts in the prior year had balances that you want to retain history, you must cross-reference them to a current year account.
The process of rolling over your Federal COA and making changes to it before rolling over your adjustment charts is required so that the system can account for your Federal COA changes in the adjustments. If you roll over your Federal COA and adjustment charts at the same time and want to make changes later, then you will have an extra step to remove the account from the adjustment, before deleting it from the Federal COA.
