Control Accounts
Certain accounts are set as "Control Accounts", meaning that journals cannot be manually posted to them. Only subsystem processes and flat file uploads can post. Even if these journals fail to post you can't modify lines that hit these accounts. This helps us to prevent users from messing in accounts which we want to strictly control/limit the activity of.
Removing a control account flag should only be done with a supervisor's approval, needs to be replaced ASAP, and preferably should be done at a time where others aren't as likely to post there.
You can find a list of all accounts which are flagged as control accounts by querying the GL_ACCOUNT_TBL where the "CONTROL_FLAG" field equals Y.
