# Validate account history (GL509900)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> By using this window, you can validate account history in the selected ledgers.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

By using this window, you can validate account history in the selected ledgers.
Validation entails
recalculating the balances, based on the account history records, and matching them
to the account balances stored in the database.

> [!NOTE]
> We recommend that you run this process only if a system error has occurred and the account balances are incorrect. For the list of transactions of a particular account, use the [Account details (GL404000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/account-details-gl404000/index.md) window.

To validate the account history in all ledgers, click**Validate all**.
To
validate the account history in particular ledgers, select the check boxes next to
those ledgers and click **Validate**.
