About Bank Accounts

Bank Accounts are used in ManageMore to associate customer payments, deposits, and disbursements for reporting to the general ledger. By selecting a bank account on these transactions, the user indicates which general ledger balance to update upon posting. This balance can be easily reconciled, and a register view is available. Information is also stored on this record which is used for automatically printing checks. Bank Accounts can also be used to represent a company credit card or petty cash fund.
