Setting Up CM Accounts

CM Accounts defines the bank accounts you reconcile and use for cash tracking. Each CM account should map one-to-one to a GL cash account. Create a separate CM account for each bank product you reconcile—checking, savings, investment accounts, and so on.

Before you start​

  • Have the bank account number, starting check number, and matching GL cash account.
  • If your chart of accounts uses subledger account types, the GL cash account must be coded as C-Cash before you link it.
  • Gather EFT/ACH details if AP or Payroll will send ACH from this account.

Steps​

  1. Open CM Accounts.
  2. Enter a four-character CM account code and a description.
  3. Link the CM account to the corresponding GL account. This GL account will be the posting cash account for AP, AR, PR, and CM transactions on this bank.
  4. Enter the bank account number and beginning check number. The beginning check number sets the default for AP and Payroll check printing and updates after each check run.
  5. Complete EFT information if you send ACH files through AP or Payroll.
  6. Save.

Notes​

  • Maintain a one-to-one CM-to-GL relationship so reconciliations and GL cash stay aligned.
  • Use F1 on fields for Vista field help when needed.
