Deactivate main account in Dynamics AX

In this post, I am going to describe how to deactivate main account. This option is very useful in certain situations where you don't want to use the account and also want to keep the account in the system to check the history. 
If the account is deactivated then it cannot be used for any further transactions.
Go to General ledger > Common > Main accounts
Select 11010 main account for deactivation

Click Edit button or double click the selected line

Set Active from = 1/1/2012
Set Active to = Today's date
The account will be active in this date range. The account cannot be used for any transaction before Active from date and after Active to date. Both Active from and Active to dates are included in the range and can be used for transactions.
Now, i am going to create General journal from General ledger module using the same account 11010 on which i specified the date range for the activation.
I am entering today's date + 1 in General journal line to check if i can use account 11010 or not.

Now, you can see the validation message appears that says Main account 11010 is inactive and it doesn't let me to post the transaction.
Hope! you understand this scenario as this is helpful in the situation where you don't want to use the account for further transactions and at the same time want to keep the particular account to track the history

Happy Daxing!
