Settings | Remove locked accounts - To journal to any account
By removing locked accounts gives greater flexibility when journalising - ie any posting to any posting. There can never be any differences re "control" accounts as the ledger is merely the sum of its parts. Presumably currently the software structure is set to require locked accounts -may be too big an ask but believe no locked accounts are more modern and the only route to go

Hi Nic, appreciate why you'd like the ability to freely post to any account, however locked and system accounts in Xero are set up for specific reason and are needed in order to calculate and report - You can read more of the reason for these here in Xero central.
If there's something specific you're needing help with around this our team of specialists at Support may be able to help explain how to go about this with Xero.

I need to know how in Zero I can apply bad debts so that it reflects in Accounts Receivable I have been instructed to apply some accounts receivable debts that we will not received to Bad Debts.
the only Journal entry to reflect this was to enter the Bad Debt against Other Debtors....But if i go to take the invoice out with a payment I cannot put it to Other Debtors??? Do I put it to from other debtors to a clearing account and then apply it against the invoices that are the bad debt... in other accounting I can manage this area very well but no so in Xero??? -
