Delete a Balance Sheet rule

If you have added a Balance Sheet rule that you no longer require, follow these steps to delete it:

1. From the Customise Data tab go to the Balance Sheet tab and expand the required account category, for example, Current Assets.
2. Click on the rule button beside the account name it applies to. If you have previously added a rule, the rule button will be coloured green.
3. Click Delete twice.

If you have added a Profit and Loss rule you no longer require, you will need to ensure that the account is attached to another rule.
