Remove GL Account from Chart of Account

A General Ledger (GL) account can be removed from a Chart of Account (COA) provided the GL account is not assigned as a parent GL account and the COA is not assigned to an AR ledger. A GL account cannot be removed if the COA is assigned to an AR ledger and transactions have been generated using the GL account.
