Setting the Default Bank Account for a Location

Most 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 input forms when a document input form is created. On the document input form, if required, the bank account can be changed. Setting a default bank account for the location means you do not have to select a bank account each time you create a document.

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.
