Contents of the Manage Company Bank Accounts (US Banks) Screen

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

Identification

Field	Description
Bank Abbrev	Before you can enter a bank's detailed information on the this screen for the first time, you must first establish the bank account abbreviation. Enter a bank's abbreviation in this required field. If you previously entered an abbreviation for a bank, you can click to retrieve a bank's detailed information by entering its bank abbreviation. You use a bank's abbreviation throughout the Bank Reconciliation screens (in Accounting > Cash Management > Bank Account Management) to retrieve a bank account's information. A bank's abbreviation is not necessarily an abbreviation of the bank name. For example, if you have a savings account and a checking account, you might set up two bank abbreviations called "CK1" and "SAV1" to designate the two accounts. Above all, the bank abbreviation should be meaningful to users that perform bank statement/G/L reconciliations.
Description	Enter a description of the bank abbreviation. Although a single character entered in this field fulfills Costpoint requirement for a description, it is more beneficial to supply a meaningful description because the bank abbreviation description automatically displays on Bank Reconciliation screens and in reports that use this field.
