Frequently asked questions
How many bank accounts can appear on debtor account statements?
Only two bank accounts can be printed on account statements. Select the two most relevant accounts and tick the Print bank details on account statements checkbox on each.
What is the difference between an account and a sub-account?
Sub-accounts are linked to a parent account and are used to further categorise financial data. They are optional and are used where schools need more detailed financial structures.
What is the active date used for?
The active date determines when the account starts processing transactions. For Netcash integration this date is particularly important because transactions will only be pulled from this date onwards.
