Setting Up a Bank Account

 

For general ledger (G/L) accounts used for payments/deposits or for any G/L Accounts used as DT Accounts, a Bank Account should be set up and specified for that G/L Account.

Add a G/L Account

 

If the G/L Account does not already exist, you will first create the G/L Account. Navigate to Accounts in akoyaGO CRM.  Choose the Fund Management area, then select Accounts.  Select +New.

Enter the account information (Unique Account # and Account Name) and click Save & Close (Note: Asset account numbers should always be between 1000 and 1999). For more information on adding a new G/L Account, see the Overview of G/L Accounts and Adding a New G/L Account in akoyaGO KA.

 

After creating the G/L Account, you will need to disable direct posting to this account. In Business Central, navigate to Finance>Chart of Accounts and open the newly added G/L Account.

 

 

Disable Direct Posting to the G/L Account.

 

Add a Bank Account

 

In Business Central, select Cash Management, then choose Bank Accounts (Alternatively, use the magnifying glass to search for “Bank Accounts”).  Click +New.

Enter a Code (a short name, usually the account name) for the posting group, then enter the G/L Account that corresponds to the bank account you’ve created.  

 

 

NOTE: Each Bank Account must have a unique Posting Group. However, multiple banks can reference one bank posting group.  For example, there can be multiple investment managers (bank accounts) that post to one G/L Account (bank posting group).

 

For accounts that will be used for check printing, enter a value in the Last Check No. field. This will be the last check number used in your physical check stock.
