Assigning Customer Banks
Assign bank accounts to customers to allow funds to be automatically transferred from these accounts to your remittance bank accounts when using Automatic Receipts. The system allows multiple customer bank accounts in different currencies and lets you assign accounts to a customer addresses.
The primary bank account for a particular currency is used as the default account when you use Automatic Receipts. You can define multiple, non-primary accounts in the same currency, even if the date ranges overlap.
Prerequisites
Enter a bill-to location (if you are assigning a bank account to a customer address)
To assign bank accounts to a customer or address:
1. Navigate to the Customers or the Customer Summary window.
2. Query the customer to which you want to assign bank information.
Note: You can restrict your query to only specific customers by using the Find Customers window. For example, you can query customers by name, type, class, category, status, or address. To use the Find Customers window, choose Find from the Query menu.
3. If you are in the Customer Summary window, choose Open.
To assign a bank account to a specific address, open the Addresses alternative region, select the address, then choose Open.
Attention: You cannot assign a bank account to a customer address unless that address has a bill-to location.
4. Open the Bank Accounts alternative region.
5. Enter either the Account Name or Account Number for this bank account, or select an account from the list of values.
6. Check the Primary check box if this bank account is the primary one for this customer or customer address.
You may only assign one active, primary account per currency for the customer or site.
7. Enter the dates you want this bank account to be active in the From and To fields. If you do not specify an end date, the system will use this bank account indefinitely.
