Review this section to learn about the Bank Account Page, the Bank Account Card, the Bank Account Card Action Pane, and how to Create a Bank Account in NAV.
Overview
For each transaction made in NAV using a bank account, the system will post an entry in the bank account ledger.
The bank account posting group assigned to each bank account enables the program to post the related G/L entries with the transaction.
In addition, if the user makes a manual or computer check payment, the system posts an entry to the check ledger to record the check transaction and the current status of the check.
Each bank account has its own card that contains information, such as the following:
- Name, address, and contact information
- Account numbers
- Posting specifications
- International banking
- Wire transfers
