Set up a Bank Account

You use the Accounts/Bank Accounts window to associate each of your bank accounts and checkbooks with a general ledger account and to set up check printing options based on whether you use preprinted checks.

21st Century Payroll expects all transactions entered to general ledger accounts that you have defined as bank accounts to be bank transactions that show up on your bank statement.

Follow these steps to set up a Payroll bank account.

  1. Run System/Company/Select and double-click TutCo in the Select Company window. TutCo is the company you created in the "Create a new company" lesson.

  2. Run Accounts/Bank Accounts. At <new> press Tab to set up a new bank account.

  3. At "Name," enter Commercial Bank. Make the name meaningful for easy recognition.

  6. At "G/L account," select 1000- Cash Operating Account SIGNET (or the first available asset account from the Chart of Accounts).

    Keep bank accounts "pure." Payroll for Adagio expects all transactions entered to a general ledger account that you have defined as a bank account to be bank transactions that show up on your bank statement. Don't use an account that you define as a bank account for any other purpose.

  7. At "Address," press Tab. (Click the address card icon or press spacebar if you want to enter the bank's address.)
