Bank Maintenance

Summary

The Bank Maintenance window is used to create and maintain banks. In order to create a new bank account (SS> Maintenance> Bank Account), you must first create the bank record because it is used to store the routing number of the bank. The bank information is set up in a different table than the bank account information so that the bank information does not have to be entered on each bank account.
