I agree about selecting it moving forward and controlling this through security, and that will most likely be the practice moving forward. We are in a unique situation at the moment where we do not currently use NAV for our financial reporting, but use GP. (Long story) We will be moving off of GP into NAV next year (hopefully) and are trying to do some cleanup.
My question revolves more around ‘Why even give the user the option to turn this on or off?’ Because you can set up the system to allow deletion of G/L entries prior to a specified date, there should not be an option to delete the account if it is part of any sort of setup. If it is, and needs to be updated, do the investigation up front to determine if it is still needed or needs to be updated, then continue with your maintenance.
This check should be part of a Standard ERP package. It should not allow the user the option to decide.
