@lubos Could you please implement the option to make a general ledger account inactive like customers and suppliers. Businesses evolve, new GL-accounts are created, but obsolete ones can’t be deleted, so please introduce the options to make a GL-account inactive

Thanks it’s very useful feature

The inactive account should not appear in accounts drop down list but it should appear in the summary page and reports If its balance is not zero else statements won’t balance, just saying.
