This guide explains how to add and modify bank accounts and cash registers in SimplBooks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Why do bank accounts and\/or cash registers need to be set up?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In SimplBooks, invoices are marked as paid through a bank account or cash register. Each bank account\/cash register is linked to a specific accounting account. For example, if you have two bank accounts, a petty cash register, and a separate account for credit notes, you will need four separate bank accounts\/cash registers in total. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Type<\/strong>
Bank accounts are always added as bank accounts, and petty cash registers are always added as cash registers. A credit account allows credit notes to be matched against original invoices by recording both as paid through the credit account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank name<\/strong>
Choose a suitable name for the account. The bank account name is displayed on sales invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBAN number<\/strong>
Enter the IBAN number if you use this account on sales invoices and want an automatic barcode to appear on invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accounting account<\/strong>
Select an account number in the range 1900\u20131999 for the bank account or cash register. If the desired accounting account is not available in the default chart of accounts, you can create a new account under Accounting<\/strong> > Accounts<\/strong> > “New account”<\/strong>. Read the detailed guide for adding an account here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description<\/strong>
You can optionally add additional information about the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can set the account as the default account<\/strong>, edit its details, add it to documents, remove it from documents, or delete the account entirely. The default account means that the program will suggest this account first when recording invoices as paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
