Manage Reclassifications

Adaptive Planning replaced reclassification rules with journal entries, but continues to support the capability for instances that actively use it.
A reclassification rule moves the entire balance of an account for one or more levels to another account for selected versions and selected periods of time. Use reclassification rules to move money between accounts to correct a mistake or to change an attribution.
Use the Reclassification Rules pages to view the list of all reclassification rules and to create, edit or reorder reclassification rule.
