Set up a Bank Link for each bank that is debited or credited for a payment to your company, but only if you are recording payments in the Veson IMOS Platform. When there is an integration with an external Accounting System where payments are initiated, Bank Links should exist. This form binds the bank to a General Ledger number and also sets the bank currency.

Bank Links enable payments/receipt register in IMOS and the way they do this is by linking Bank Ledger account from Company's Chart of Accounts with a Bank. Therefore, every Bank account in Chart of Accounts must be linked to a Bank.

Setting Up Bank Links

Make sure of the following:

1. Setup A Bank in Chart of Accounts: The Chart of Accounts includes the Ledger Code and Account Name for the account where the cash transactions will be recorded, with Category Bank. This is the account where the cash transactions will be recorded.
