Changing the default bank account for a location

A number of the document input forms in IRIS Financials require posting to a bank account. Each location has a default bank account, which is automatically selected on each of these document input forms if a default bank account has been set for the location. The bank account can be changed each time, but it is possible to change the default bank account to save time having to manually select another account each time.

This is a global setting that changes the default bank account for the specified location on all document input forms for all users. If you do not have access to the Parameters Ledger to make this change, please contact the person within your establishment / organisation who administers your system, i.e. has a CUSTADMIN login.

1. Go to Maintenance, then select Accounts from the menu.
   

2. The Select a ledger dialog is displayed. Double-select to select PARAMETERS - Parameters Ledger.
   

3. The Account Maintenance window is displayed. Select the two letter location code for the location for which you want to change the default bank account. For example, if the location is AST you would select AS, as shown in the following graphic. Select the Analysis Field tab, then select EDIT.
   

4. Next, enter the bank account number of the bank account you want to set as the default account in Element Nominal, then select SAVE.
   The bank account being entered must have been created as an account in the software. For more information, please see Creating a New Bank Account.

5. The Update complete message is displayed. Select OK to close the message and return to the previous window.
