Bank / Cash Accounts

Bank / Cash Accounts manages the organization's standard bank and cash accounts and the general ledger accounts behind them.

Concepts

Control Accounts explains ledger-backed accounts.
Organizations and Companies explains how organization standards flow to companies.
What Is a Financial Ledger? explains the relationship between supporting ledgers and the general ledger.

Viewing accounts

The list shows code, name, account type, linked general ledger account, status, and whether postings exist. Search by code or name, and filter by type or status. Select a row for bulk status or delete actions; click the row to open its detail. Refresh reloads the data and Export can export the selection, current view, or full dataset.

In use

An account is in use when another record refers to it or postings exist. In-use accounts cannot be deleted or deactivated because doing so would break an active or historical financial relationship.

Create a new account

Select Add Bank / Cash Account and provide the stable code, name, type, linked general ledger account, and the bank or cash details required by the form. New accounts are active unless the form states otherwise.

Make changes

Open the account from the list. Update descriptive and banking details, then save. Treat the code, type, and linked general ledger account as structural settings: changing their meaning after use makes historical reporting difficult to explain.

Change status

Select an unused account and choose Activate or Deactivate. Deactivation prevents new use but preserves the record for history.

Delete

Delete only an account that has no postings and is not referenced. Deletion is permanent.
