Add cash or bank account

If your company is working with several bank accounts, these accounts should all be registered in Visma eAccounting Standaard. 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. Choose Cash and bank accounts.
  3. Select the type of account you want to create by selecting the New bank account button.
  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. Choose 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.

A Dutch IBAN always starts with the letters NL and consists of a total of 18 characters.

Here you add the name of the bank account holder for the IBAN above.

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.

Check the box if this bank account will be used for direct debit. This setting only applies to the Direct debit module.

Enter the Creditor ID that you have received from the bank when you concluded the direct debit collection contract. This setting only applies to the Direct debit module.

With batch booking, the bank will process the direct debit order collection payment as one lump sum amount on your bank account, which makes reconciliation easy. This setting only applies to the Direct debit module.

Direct sending is possible if the bank supports this and this is activated in the banking environment. After sending, the direct debit order only needs to be approved in the bank environment. In other cases, this setting is turned off and the direct debit batch will be exported as a file that can be imported at the bank. This setting only applies to the Direct debit module.
