Bank Account

The Bank Account screen allows you to add and define bank accounts. The bank account defines the details of accounts that are held with banking institutions, such as the currency in which the account is held. This information is used during the payment process for checks and EFT payments.

General

In the General area, enter information to define the bank account.

Field		Description
	Company	Enter or select the company that owns the bank account.
	Account	Enter or select the account that will be used in the general ledger to represent this bank account. Only accounts with a Cash subsidiary type are available for selection.
	Name	Displays the name of the selected account.
	Bank Account Number	Enter the bank account number provided by your banking institution. This field is required if the EFT Transform is specified. For example, this bank account number will be included in the EFT file that is submitted to the bank.
	Bank Routing Number	Enter the banking institution's routing number. This field is required if the EFT Transform is specified. For example, this bank routing number will be included in the EFT file that is submitted to the bank.
	Currency	Enter or select the bank account currency. When a transaction, such as payment or deposit, uses this bank account then this will be used as the document currency of the transaction.
	Locale	Select the locale to be used for the check formatting. This defines the date and currency formats that will be used on checks issued from the bank account.
	Date Format	Select a date format to use instead of the date format for your locale. This date format will be used on checks and check attachment reports issued from the bank account. This format is for use only for payments generated in Canada The alternate format only applies to the payment and any attachments. This capability supports the regulations of the Canadian Payments Association.
	Payment Register	Enter or select the report format used to print the payment register in the payment generation process. The locale is presented in ISO standard format by language and country to allow ease of localization. This table is pre-populated in BST11.

Paper Check

In the Paper Check area, enter information about how paper checks will generate. The Payment Report supports 13 lines on the paper check stub.

Field		Description
	Stub Report	Enter or select the report format used to print check stubs. The check stub lists the voucher's that are being paid by the check.
	Stub Max Lines	Enter the maximum number of lines that print on a check stub. If the number of vouchers being paid exceeds this value, then the additional lines print on the Paper Check Attachment Report.
	Attachment Report	Enter or select the report format used to print check attachments.
	Dual Signature Amount	Enter the minimum value that requires a check to have two signatures. If you enter zero, all checks will require two signatures. This will be used in the payment generation process to determine the sort order of checks to print. Checks with a value equal to or greater than this value will be printed towards the beginning of the check run.
	Payment Number Length	Enter the number of digits required for a payment number. This value is used to determine the number of leading zeros to add to a Payment Number entered in Payment Generation. A value between 0 (zero) and 16 can be entered. By default, 0 (zero) is selected. If 0 is entered, no leading zeros are added. If any other value is entered, the number of digits in the Payment Number is subtracted from the value and that many leading zeros are added; for example, if a Payment Number Length is 16 and 9999 is entered in Payment Generation for the First Payment Number, the payment number would be 0000000000009999. Likewise, the next generated payment number would adjust the number of necessary leading zeros and would be 0000000000010000.
