First, ensure all GL journal entries are posted to the masters. If the account balance is not zero, do a manual entry to zero out the balance using a misc account. After posting this new GL entry, then you may change the account type. Do another manual entry that is the opposite of the original one to put the balance back in, again using the misc account.
