Bank Accounts
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
You can manage as many **Bank Accounts** as needed on your database. Configuring them well allows
|
||
you to make sure that all your banking data is up to date and ready for the reconciliation with your
|
||
*Journal Entries*.
|
||
|
||
In Odoo Accounting, each Bank Account is configured to have a dedicated *Journal* which is
|
||
configured to post all entries in a dedicated *Account*.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: Whenever you add a Bank Account, a dedicated journal and a dedicated account are
|
||
automatically created and configured.
|
||
|
||
Every **Bank Journal** is displayed by default on the **Accounting Overview** in the form of a
|
||
convenient card. It includes action buttons that are displayed when appropriate.

Add a new Bank Account
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
You can either connect your bank account to your Odoo database, or configure your bank account
|
||
manually and :doc:`upload the bank statements manually <../feeds/bank_statements>`.
|
||
|
||
Bank Synchronization
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
Connect your bank account to your database and have your bank statements synced automatically.
|
||
|
||
To synchronize a new bank account, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration`, click on
|
||
*Add a Bank Account*, then find your bank in the list, click on *Connect*, and follow the
|
||
instructions on-screen.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
:doc:`Click here <../../bank/feeds/bank_synchronization>` for more information about this bank
|
||
synchronization.

Manual configuration
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
If your Bank Institution can’t be synchronized automatically, or if you prefer not to sync it with
|
||
your database, you may also configure your bank account manually.
|
||
|
||
To add a new bank account manually, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration`, click on
|
||
*Add a Bank Account*, then on *Create it*, and fill out the form.
|
||
|
||
- **Name**: the bank account's name, as displayed on Odoo.
|
||
- **Account Number**: your bank account number (IBAN in Europe).
|
||
- **Bank**: click on *Create and Edit* to configure the bank's details. Add the bank institution's
|
||
name and its Identifier Code (BIC or SWIFT).
|
||
- **Code**: this code is your Journal's *Short Code*, as displayed on Odoo. By default, Odoo creates
|
||
a new Journal with this Short Code.
|
||
- **Journal**: This field is displayed if you have an existing Bank Journal that is not linked yet
|
||
to a bank account. If so, then select the *Journal* you want to use to record the financial
|
||
transactions linked to this bank account or create a new one by clicking on *Create and Edit*.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
Odoo detects the bank account type (e.g., IBAN) and enables some features accordingly.

Advanced configuration
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
To edit an existing bank account, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Bank
|
||
Accounts`, and open the bank account you want to modify.
|
||
|
||
If you need to edit the bank account details, go to the *Bank Account* field and click on the
|
||
*External Link* button next to the list arrow. There, you can edit the bank account's number,
|
||
Account Holder, Account Holder Name, and your Bank Institution's details by clicking on the
|
||
*External Link* next to the *Bank* field. These details are used to register some payments.
|
||
|
||
You can configure which types of payments are enabled in the **Payment Method Types** section and
|
||
how the bank statements are recorded and posted in the **Bank Statements** section.
