Article summary

Bank accounts are integral to all accounting processes in Restaurant365. Each Bank Account record represents an account used for daily financial operations.

Bank accounts exist as GL accounts in Restaurant365. Any GL account with a 'Balance Sheet' GL Type can be classified as a bank account by selecting the 'Is Bank Account' checkbox on the GL Account record. Click here for more information on GL Account Records. To create a new bank account, see the Add a New Bank Account training.

If the GL account is a Profit & Loss account (with a GL Type set to 'Profit & Loss' in the Financial Report settings), the checkbox will not appear, and the GL account cannot be used as a bank account.

When the ‘Is Bank Account’ checkbox is selected, the bank account fields will display in the ‘Bank Account Information’ section of the General tab.

GL Accounts that have been identified as bank accounts, will appear in both the 'GL Accounts' list (in the 'General Ledger' subsection) and 'Bank Accounts' list (in the 'Banking' subsection). Additionally the GL Account/bank account will be available on the Bank Activity and Bank Reconciliation screens. Click here for more information on Bank Activity, and Bank Reconciliation.

ACH Immediate Origin

Some banks require a unique company identifier instead of a Tax ID, such as a customer number. This field enables users to enter the bank’s specific identifier in R365, ensuring the generated ACH file includes the correct information for accurate processing.

The ACH immediate origin allows for alphanumeric values and is limited to 10 characters.

Best Practice
If the bank requires a leading character in front of the legal entity’s Tax ID enter that leading character and Tax ID in this field.

  • Example:
    Leading Character: A

    Tax ID: 111111111
    ACH Immediate Origin: A111111111

When left blank, the ACH export will default to using the Tax ID set on the Legal Entity record associated with the Payment Run. If the Company Identifier differs from the Bank’s Immediate Origin, use this field. For guidance on the correct entry, consult the bank directly.
