Make sure to change the Work Area value when the shift on the workstation is Closed. The Work Area value is stored within the Shift information and by design does not refresh if the Value in the Work Area is changed. If you desire to change the Work Area relationship to General Ledger, first close the shift, make the Work Area change, Exit TransActPOS and then return to the application to Begin Shift.
