Define Bank Account for a Customer

This document explains how you define bank account information for a customer.

Each bank account record contains detailed information about the account and the accounting string for posting transactions to this account. When applicable, conditions for remitting drafts to this account are also defined.

Outcome

The bank account information is defined for a customer.

Bank account information is used:

To control which bank accounts to use for managing customer payments
In Accounts receivable (company's bank accounts, customer's bank accounts)
In the general ledger (company's bank accounts, customer's bank accounts).

The following tables are updated:

Customer Master - OCUSMA
Bank Master - CBANMA
Bank Account - CBANAC.

Before you start

A customer must be created in 'Customer. Open' (CRS610). See Enter Preliminary Customer for more detailed descriptions.
Languages must be defined in 'Language. Open' (CRS010)
Currencies must be defined in 'Currency. Open' (CRS055)
If you wish to specify a banking region to further identify the bank and you do not group the bank by area or state, such a region must be defined in 'Banking Region. Open' (CRS843)
A set of up to five user-defined fields must be defined in 'Bank Account Indicator. Open' (CRS072).

Follow these steps

Start 'Customer. Open' (CRS610/B).
Select the customer for which the bank account information needs to be defined.
Select option 16 = Bank/Customer to start 'Bank Account. Open' (CRS692/B).

Note: The Bank account type must be set to 02 = Customer bank accounts to define customer-specific bank information.
Specify the relevant bank account data on the E and F panels. For detailed descriptions on the parameters to set, see .
Press F3 to return to 'Customer. Open' (CRS610/B).
