An account imported from a connected accounting source can remain owned by that source. The ledger editor checks the company's current accounting authority and the account's source before allowing changes. A provider account is not automatically an editable Institution account.
For a QuickBooks-owned account under the supported connection, the form labels the action as a QuickBooks change and checks the resulting provider state. Some changes may be sent for approval or remain under confirmation. Read the saved outcome instead of assuming that closing the form means the provider accepted it.
If the form says the imported account belongs to its connected source, choose the correct source workflow or an actual Institution account for the intended local change. Do not remove its identity or duplicate it merely to avoid source controls.
Refresh after an accounting-source change before editing the chart. The account list, permitted fields and normal balance ownership can differ by source. Keep source names and local account codes clear when preparing imports so the adjustment uses the intended ledger.
