A general ledger bank account will need a tender if you are receiving or paying money out.
You can have multiple tenders for the one bank account.
Ensure that the General Ledger Bank type account is set up first before you insert a new tender. See Creating a type of Bank Account and linking a Tender

Tenders are usually reviewed and set up at the time of Install by Readysell. However a user may wish to add a new tender at any point in time especially if a new type of bank account has been created.

You cannot have PC Eftpos and Tyro software installed on the one work station.
In respect to the tenders, if the funds for PC Eftpos and Tyro hit a different bank account then two separate tenders will be required.
If funds for any tender are deposited to a different bank account, then you will also need separate tenders.
