UPDATE CASH ACCOUNTS 

Use this screen to update the Bank G/L Cash Accounts table with the cash acct/org/ref1/ref2 combination data stored with the transaction detail for historical Accounts Payable, Cash Receipts, and/or Payroll transactions.

During the update process, the system reads all of the cash account/organization/ref1/ref2 combinations that have been previously used and stored with the detail transactions from A/P, Cash Receipts, and/or Payroll. If additional cash account combinations are found, the new data will be added to the Bank G/L Cash Accounts table, but existing data in that table will not be overwritten.

To view all the cash account combinations for which detail data is stored in Costpoint Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and/or Payroll, you must access the View Cash Accounts subtask of the Maintain Company Bank Accounts screen. (The data in the subtask table window is non-editable.)

You must run this process before you can view information in the View Cash Accounts subtask of the Maintain Company Bank Accounts screen.

You must also run this process before you create bank transaction history records.

To ensure that the appropriate records are included, you should select time periods for all fiscal years and periods in which there are A/P, Cash Receipts, and/or Payroll transactions to be used for the desired bank reconciliations.
