Add cash or bank account

If your company is working with several bank accounts, these accounts should all be registered in Visma eAccounting Standard. It is possible to have several operating accounts, but one account must be set as the primary operating account. Proceed as follows to add an account.

  1. Go to Settings in the menu.
  2. Select Cash and bank accounts.
  3. Select the type of account you want to create by selecting the New bank account button. You can choose between Operating account, Savings account, and Currency account.
  4. The New bank account window opens.
  5. Enter the information that applies to the account. Please see the field explanations for more information.
  6. Select Save.

There are four types of accounts: Operating, Savings, Currency and Cash account. You can register as many savings or operating accounts as you want. If you have more than one operating account you must set one of them to be your primary operating account. It is possible to change type on an account but your primary account must always be an operating account.

You can specify a name for the account. If you do not specify a name, the account is given the same name as the ledger account to which it is linked.

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is an international standard used to specify an account number. You need an IBAN to be able to receive payments directly to your account from foreign payers or if you want to invoice/pay a foreign customer/supplier.

IBAN is intended to supplement the regular account number. A Finnish IBAN always starts with the letters FI and consists of a total of 16 characters.

The account the transactions are posted against in the journal. The ledger account must be active to be able to create a link.

One of the operating accounts must be set as the primary operating account. The primary operating account will be the default chosen bank account for example sales invoices and purchase invoices.
