We recently merged the Bank Accounts area into the general Accounts area.
Go to View > Accounts to add and edit types. You can now see your balances in this Accounts list screen. GLOBAL multi-currency customers will also notice we indicate the Account currency.
When you add an account you have the opportunity to specify whether it is a Bank Account. Bank Accounts tend to be transactional accounts that may include loans, petty cash, trading accounts, directors loans and others. We will begin to refer to these as different names in the future depending on the use. For a simple transition, this is the first step towards that direction.
This does simplify bank accounts nicely and give good flexibility in being able to have “non bank” bank accounts which can be used to “park” money before it gets to the real bank account.
However, there is some things that need tidying up.
In ‘Reports’ > ‘Transaction by Accounts’ the bank accounts don’t show up in the drop down list so individual BANK accounts cant be viewed. This is important when reconciling, say an EFTPOS or Card account at the end of the day.
Yes, you can see them if you tick the ‘Show Bank Accounts’ box but you have to scroll through every other account.
So, I would like to see…
1. Bank accounts in the drop down list
AND/OR
2. A tick box with ‘Bank Accounts Only’
Cheers
