Changing Names of General Ledger Accounts

You can change the name of an account by clicking its Edit link on the Chart of Accounts page. NetSuite automatically updates existing records when you change an account name.

To change general ledger account names:

1. Go to Lists > Accounting > Accounts.
2. Click Edit next to the account to rename.
3. Enter up to 31 characters in the Name field.

Text entered in the Name field appears on the income statement and in lists.

• Enter up to 30 characters in the Description field.

Text entered in the Description field shows only on your list of accounts. This is helpful for internal accounting use.

• Click Save.
