Contents of the Manage Banks (US) Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Manage Banks (US) screen.

Table Window

Field Description
Bank ID

Enter the bank's nine-digit ABA in this required field.

When banks are incorporated, they are assigned an ABA number by the Federal Reserve to identify the bank sending or receiving information. The ABA number is the first block of numbers at the bottom left portion of a check or deposit slip that is issued for use by individuals or corporations.

The ABA number must be exactly nine digits long, without separators such as dashes, and it must be numeric. If the number does not contain nine digits, Costpoint automatically adds enough leading zeros to bring the ID to nine digits when you tab from the field. (For example, if you enter the number "1234," "000001234" displays when you tab away from this field.) If the bank ID contains letters, you cannot save the row.

Bank Name

Enter the bank name in this required field. Although a single character entered in this field fulfills the requirement for a description, it is more beneficial to supply a meaningful description, because the bank name displays as a default on several screens and prints on reports throughout Costpoint.

Transfer Type

Enter the Costpoint module in which this bank can be used.

You can enter only one of the following items in this column:

  • A: Enter A if you plan to use this bank only in Costpoint Accounts Payable.
  • B: Enter B if the plan to use this bank in both Costpoint Accounts Payable and Payroll.

You cannot designate a P (Costpoint Payroll only) transfer type on this screen; all such entries must be made in the Usage Code column on the Configure Bank Routings screen in Costpoint Payroll.

You can change a P value on this screen to A or B, but you cannot change an A or a B value to P on this screen.
