Bank Defaults

You can save a lot of time if you set up your bank defaults before you start to enter information in Sage Accounts, as these automatically apply to any new records you create.

You can also choose to link electronically to your bank account with the e-Banking features.


To set up your bank defaults

  1. Settings > Bank Defaults > complete the Bank Defaults window as follows:

General

Enable e-Banking

This check box activates the E Payment and E Reconcile options in the Bank Accounts window.

Group items in Bank Rec.

Select this to group consecutive transactions when:

  • They are the same type.
  • The reference and the date are the same.

List Invoice/Credit by item line

Select this to show each item line on invoices in the Customer Receipts and Supplier Payments windows.

Create Bank Reconciliation PDF

Select this to generate a PDF report when you reconcile a bank account.

No Warning on Visa receipts

When you enter a receipt on a credit card account that is not a credit card receipts account, a warning appears to advise you that the account is for payments only.

To turn off this warning, select this check box.

Group Bank Transactions

Select this to group bank payments and bank receipts, which have the same reference and date in the bank activity.

Note: This does not work retrospectively. If you change this check box, it only affects transactions that you post after you change the setting.

Always Create Remittance

Select this check box to create a remittance advice note each time you save a supplier payment.

Cash register settings
