Cash Accounts

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to establish valid cash account, organization, reference 1, and reference 2 numbers as well as bank names for use in  Accounts Payable. You will give each unique combination a description that can be used instead of the Account/Organization/ Reference 1/Reference 2 combination, thus speeding data entry. This also allows you to prevent checks from being credited to an account other than those specified for the recording of checks.

The Cash Account/Organization/Bank Abbreviation/Reference 1/Reference 2 combinations you set up in this screen will be used when setting up vendors (to default into vouchers), entering vouchers, posting vouchers and selecting vouchers for payment.

You can set up a Cash Account/Organization/Bank Abbreviation/Reference 1/Reference 2 combination to default into the Vendor screens automatically by entering a valid cash account description in the Vendor Settings screen. This is useful if you have only one cash account description.

When should I use this screen?

Initialize this screen after setting up the A/P Settings screen and A/P Accounts screen. Maintain it when you need to enter new cash accounts to the system.
