Manage Segment Entries
Edit or delete specific ledger funds, core accounts, departments, or custom segment entries.
You must have accounting administrator permissions to perform this task.
Has a department changed, or do you need to add a legible short name for a name that's too long? If you edit the code, name, or short name of a segment entry, the change will be reflected on all existing transactions. If a core account is in use, the account type cannot be changed.
- In the top-left corner, click your ministry hub then Accounting. Then click .
- Click the name of the segment with the entry you want to manage:
- Ledger Funds
- Core Accounts
- Departments
- A custom segment you previously defined
- Click
beside a segment entry and select one of the following:
- Edit— If you edit a core account that's in use, you cannot edit its account type.
- Delete— If a segment entry has current activity, it cannot be deleted. You must make it inactive instead.
- Make any necessary changes, then click Save.
Make a Segment Entry Inactive
Deactivate segment entries.

Inactive segment entries will not print on reports unless you include them.

- Click the name of the segment with the entry you want to make inactive:
