Bank Accounts (adding)

Hi there.

Upgraded and now starting to use Solar properly.

How would I go about adding the business bank account from my gardening business.

ie. So I can use Solar to sync my banks balance. Do I move to 'money to be banked' then to 'balancing account'?

How would I then see this recorded in the accounts or reports section?

Many Thanks
-Chris

Hi Chris,

Solar Accounts comes with a default 'Cheque Account' that is designed to keep track of your main business account. If you want to add another bank account, click menu File > New > Account.

When you receive payments from customers, you would normally put this money into the 'Money to be Banked' account as described here:

When you bank the money, record a General Transaction as described here:

You can then reconcile the bank statement with your entries as shown here:

Many thanks Mark.

This helps greatly.
Such a great program, all the others are either way to much for my needs but this is ideal.

Thanks
