The Search feature can be used to look for a Ledger Number, Type or Description. 

Ledger Groups can also be used as filters. These are on the right-hand side of the page.

Selecting a specific Ledger Group from the list displays Ledgers Codes that belong to that group only.

Update their status and select Save.  

To view the History of a single Ledger Code, select it then click Actions > History.

This gives a breakdown of the changes made to the Ledger Code. It is exportable as before. 

To Delete an unused Ledger Code(s), select the relevant Ledger Codes then select Actions and Delete. 

To confirm Deletion of the Ledger Codes, select Continue.
