Financial Accounting - Chapter 09 Bank Master Record
OBJECTIVE:

Boots-R-Us uses just one bank, Citibank, and two accounts for all its financial needs. In this
chapter, you will learn how to configure Bank Master Data so that Boots-R-Us can receive and
make payments on goods and services.

Exercise 1. Create House Bank

Create a House Bank that will be used for all accounts housed at the company’s bank. A
House Bank refers to the bank that a company uses for incoming and outgoing payments. In
addition to a Bank Key that defines address and control data for the bank, each House Bank
contains a company’s bank accounts. The house bank establishes a link between the various
G/L Cash Accounts and the actual bank accounts.
