Creditors Banking

These are two separate menu choices in the Accounting application Main Menu > Financials > Accounting > Accounts Payable > Banking.

The operation of these two applications is identical.

There are two functions of these applications:

  • To produce a consolidated banking value for the bank reconciliation program.
  • To optionally produce a banking supplement report.

Whether either of these applications or processes needs to be run is entirely dependent on how the user company's bank processes multiple item deposits or withdrawals.

Creditors Banking

Creditors are slightly different from Debtors in that cheques sent to suppliers are presented to the bank as individual transactions.

Where electronic payment transactions (EFT) are being used, some banks output the total amount of the EFT banking as one line on the bank statement, whereas others will output the value of the individual transactions.

If the EFT total is the value output on the bank statement, then creditors banking will need to be run to consolidate the EFT payments in Tourplan NX to one line in the bank reconciliation.

Create a Banking Transaction

The Creditors Banking program are accessed from the Accounting application. For this example, Creditors Banking is being used.

On entry to the Banking Transaction program, there are From/To date filter selection fields to find and scroll existing bankings. They default to the current date.

  1. The Transaction Selections screen will display with the Filter tab open.
  2. On the Transaction Selection Filter Tab screen, enter the required detail to set the Transaction search criteria. Selections can be filtered by:
    1. Date Entered From/To
    2. Account Name & Number
    3. Currency
    4. Transaction Date From/To
  3. Within the Transaction Selection Filter Tab screen, select the required payment type(s) by checking all, or specific Payment Type. If G.L. Banking Transactions are to be included in the banking, select Transactions From General Ledger.
