Bank accounts, bank statements, bank reconciliation and clearance tools.
In detail
Banking is the month end workspace for matching the books to the bank. It holds Bank, Bank Account, Bank Transaction, Bank Statement Import, Bank Reconciliation Tool and Bank Clearance, with the Bank Balance chart showing each account's running balance. The accountant opens it when the statement arrives, imports the lines, and matches them to Payment Entries and Journal Entries, which sets clearance dates. The bank share of the demo's Rs 25,68,160 cash and bank is reconciled here.
