What can happen when an account combination returned in create accounting is end dated?

When an account combination returned in create accounting is end dated, it implies that the particular account combination is no longer valid for new transactions. However, the original account is still retained on the journal line. This is important because historical transactions need to maintain their integrity even when an account has been end dated. Retaining the original account allows for accurate financial reporting and auditing for past transactions that used that account combination.

Choosing to store the original account prevents any disruption in the historical data and ensures that the accounting reports reflect the correct account usage at the time of the transaction.

The other options do not capture the fundamental accounting principle of maintaining transaction history. An alternative account being automatically applied does not occur in this scenario since the account in question is end dated, and if both accounts were deleted or the journal required re-entry, it would compromise the integrity of the financial data previously recorded.
