Setup of bank accounts
Establishment of bank accounts
Start by establishing relevant bank accounts. Search for the page 'Bank accounts' by pressing ALT + Q and enter "Bank accounts".
Then go to the ‘Bank Accounts’ page and select “New” and fill in the details.
Register details in the layout:
Fields in red square must be filled in per. Bank account.
Under Posting: Select Accounting Group Bank = Financial Account to mirror the bank account.
Note!
A Financial Account can be linked to several bank accounts.
Remember to choose the currency in which the account will be entered.
If you want to transfer a starting amount to the bank account, you can create in financial draft: [BILDET UNDER MÅ OPPDATERES - SETTE OPP BANKKONTI]
Example of entering the starting amount to a bank account.
Then you block the financial account for direct posting, tick "off" in the field below.
Vendor Card
Go into the Vendor list/overview, select the current Vendor.
Under Payments: Create Preferred Bank Account Code.
Per supplier, 01 is created automatically if not created: then fill in details. A provider can have multiple accounts. Can for example be called NOK for payments to Domestic or EUR for payments in Euro if it is relevant to pay to a supplier in different currencies.
The code field is not sent to the bank, but the system requires that the field has a value. If you want the field to have the same value as the vendor's bank account number, you may choose this (the account number will then be more visible). In this case, you must also enter the account number in the field "Bank Account Number".
With several bank account codes, you can change which account is to be paid to in the payment journal. AutoBank will always suggest the account number stated on the vendor’s card as "Preferred Bank Account".
Domestic vendor
For domestic vendors, enter "Country / Region Code:", "Bank Branch No." (which are the first four digits of Bank account number) and "Bank Account No."
Vendor Abroad
Mandatory fields for payments abroad:
Country/Region Code
Currency Code; the currency code is the currency of the account to which the payment is made. If the invoice is in another currency, the payment proposal will always be in the currency of the incoming invoice. Ex. In the screenshot, the currency code is in GBP because the vendor is located in Great Britain, even if the vendor sends an invoice in NOK, the credit card must be in GBP.
SWIFT Code and IBAN
Enter “Country / Region Code”, “Currency Code”, “SWIFT Code” and “IBAN”:
Currency and country code are retrieved from delivery card:
If the vendor does not use IBAN and rather uses Bank Trust Code, fill in the account number in the field for IBAN. Example USA where ABA / FedwireRoutingNumber is used.
Bank Clearing Code = routing number
NB! Please never fill in the "Bank Account" field when paying abroad.
NB! Autobank automatically creates a draft layout in the background for "transfer to draft".
