[File, Company settings, Cheques & bill of exchange]

  • Before defining the settings, you must define general ledger accounts and journals. See Creating general ledger accounts. See Creating journals. See Creating cheque and bill of exchange codes.

General tab

Group outstanding items

You can choose if you want to group outstanding items or not. There are three possibilities: 'Request', 'Always' and 'Never'. If you choose 'Always', the outstanding items are grouped automatically. If you choose 'Never', the outstanding items will not be grouped. If you choose 'Request' you are asked to choose if you want the items to be grouped, when you select them in [Banking, Cheques & B/E payment debtors/creditors, Select outstanding items]. You can also choose if you want to group outstanding items, for each debtor/creditor personally. This you can do in [Debtors/Creditors, Master data, Maintenance debtors/creditors], 'Payment' tab. See Entering company initiated bills of exchange in debtor accounts. This preference will always overrule the setting.

Default bank journal

You can fill in a bank journal number. This number will also be suggested when you receive a cheque or a bill of exchange in [Banking, Cheques & B/E payment debtors/creditors, Receive cheques & B/E's].

Direct to bank entries

At company level: all bills of exchange entries referring to bank entries can either be directly made in a bank journal (directly on bank general ledger account) or on a general journal (using a transit general ledger account). The bank entry will only be definitely made when bank statement is received.

Enter general B/E limit

If you enable this setting, the general bill of exchange limit, entered in 'General credit limit amount', will be displayed in the printing screen [Banking, Cheques & B/E payment debtors/creditors, Print cheques & B/E's]. If you disable this setting, the limit will be used, but not displayed in the printing screen.

Use limit per debtor/creditor

Enable this setting to impose limits per debtor or creditor. These limits are used when you print cheques and bills of exchange. Once this setting is enabled, it overrules the general limit.

Debtor tab

Create entry in suspense account debt to bank

Enter the 'Bank' if you have enabled this setting. This account represents the debt to the bank when bills of exchange are discounted. You can use this account instead of entering the debt directly in a bank account or in a 'Payment in transit' account, until the bank statement shows the payment.

B/E bank suspense journal

Entries will be created in this journal, if the setting 'Use suspense account cheque' is enabled.
