The Bank Focus Area on the Desktop

Customer receipts and Payments to suppliers

Clicking on these buttons will open the journal template for registering customer receipts and payments to suppliers in the Customer and Supplier Ledger respectively.

The functions are the same as the ones you initiate from the Customer and Supplier ledgers by clicking on the Receipts/Payments button, or from Journal Entry if you have switched on the journal template toolbar.

Supplier Payments

This button starts the 'Supplier Payments - Remittance' wizard. To remit your supplier payments you can either use Cheque Payment Forms/Internet payments, or one of the BACS formats as remittance type. You can read more about payments to bank in How to Create a Remittance File.

New Journal

This shortcuts opens the Journal Entry module. You can read more about journal entry in a separate chapter in Entering Journals.

Bank Reconciliation

Opens the window for bank reconciliations. Bank reconciliation helps you to check that your bank statements match your posted journal entries in your ledger. You can reconcile the amounts against another and mark off all items you can find again on your bank statements. Read more about this in Bank Reconciliation.

The desktop can be customised so that every focus area contains the information and shortcuts that best match your program usage.
