Your bank account G/L structure is the basis for how all of your banking
transactions will post. The bank account G/L structure will be used as
the lowest base for reporting so that we can see when transactions that
are in-transit are expected to clear the bank. Also important for Cash
Management Position Reporting. The structure allows you to have
common posting transactions across bank accounts and to easily see
what amount of your book balance relates to in-transit items and
what amount relates to confirmed bank balances.
How to do it
