Bank accounts are essential to all Accounting processes in Restaurant365. Each Bank Account record represents a bank account that your organization uses in every day finances and operations.
Bank accounts exist as GL accounts in Restaurant365. Any GL account with a GL Type that resides on the 'Balance Sheet' can be classified as a bank account. This is accomplished by checking 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, please see the Add a New Bank Account training.
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 made available on the Bank Activity and Bank Reconciliation screens. Click here for more information on Bank Activity, and Bank Reconciliation.
The 'Is Bank Account' checkbox will only appear when a GL Type with the Financial Report setting of 'Balance Sheet' is selected in the GL Type selector. If the GL Account is a Profit & Loss Account (and therefor has a GL Type that has the Financial Report setting of 'Profit & Loss') this checkbox will not appear and the GL Account cannot be used as a bank account. When 'Is Bank Account' is checked, the bank account fields will appear in the 'Banking Info' section of the 'General' tab
