Overview
Bank Accounts are a List of only the General Ledger Bank Accounts that have been set up within the Chart of Accounts and are flagged as 'Is Bank'. If a 'New' or 'Additional Bank Account' needs to be set up, please ensure that it is set up firstly from within the 'General Ledger Chart of Accounts' in the right area. All transactions to any general ledger account, that is flagged as 'IS BANK' must come from a source transaction. You should never have to adjust a bank account via a general ledger journal. The Bankings Module gives you a History in Detail and Summary for each Bank Account for all Movements and Dissections from each source transaction.
There is a check box 'Is Bank' that determines if this bank account is going to be reconciled.
If this tick is ON, then all transactions linked to the tender that points to this bank account will flow through to the Banking Module.
If this tick is OFF, then all transactions linked to the tender that points to this bank account will not flow through to the banking module.
If the transactions are not in the relevant bank account, then these transactions will not be part of that bank account bank reconciliation.
If you do insert a journal against a bank account and you are using Bank Reconciliations, you can expect to have a General Ledger Variance.
From within the Bankings Module the Bank Accounts can be drilled down further see Point Forms in summary below:
