How to

Set your default bank account

If you use one bank account more than frequently than the others, you can set this to be your default bank account. This will save time when you enter transactions.

Your default bank account is the account that is automatically selected when you enter a customer payment or receipt, supplier payment or receipt, or a nominal payment or receipt. You do not have to use this default bank account when you enter transactions, as you can select any other account.

If you change your default bank account, this will not affect any existing transactions, and the new account will be used as the default in future transactions.

To set the default bank account:

Open: Cash Book > Utilities > Cash Book Settings

Go to the Settings tab.
Select the Default Bank Account from the list.

Note: You can also select a blank entry for the default bank account. In this case, when you enter nominal payments and receipts, you must choose the bank account you want to use. When you enter payments and receipts for customers and suppliers, the first base currency bank account in the Cash Book is used by default.
Select OK.
