Payroll
Add or edit cash or bank account
If your company uses several bank accounts, the accounts should also be registered in Payroll. It is possible to have more than one operating bank account, but one of them must be the primary operating account.
Do this to add an account.
- Go to Settings in the menu.
- Select Cash and bank accounts.
- To edit, select the account from the list and click Edit. To add an account, click New bank account and choose the account type.
- Enter the information that applies to the account.
- Click Spara.
If you have Handelsbanken as your bank, you do not need to enter a clearing number; the account number's 9 digits are sufficient. The clearing number will automatically be set to 6000, and transfers to the bank will work just as well as if you had entered a correct clearing number.
Field explanations
Type
There are two types of accounts: Operating bank account and Cash account. You can add several operating or savings accounts. If you have more than one operating bank account, one of them must be set as the primary operating account. It is possible to change the account type, but the primary bank account must always be of the operating bank account type.
Name
You can specify a name for the account. If you do not specify a name, the account is given the same name as the ledger account to which it is linked.
IBAN
IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is an international standard used to specify an account number. You need an IBAN to be able to receive payments directly to your account from foreign payers or if you want to invoice/pay a foreign customer/supplier.
IBAN is intended to supplement the regular account number. A Swedish IBAN always starts with the letters SE and consists of a total of 24 characters.
Ledger account
The account the transactions are posted to in the bookkeeping. The general ledger account must be active to be able to create a link.
Primary operating account
One of the operating accounts must be set as the primary operating account. The primary operating account will be the default chosen bank account for example sales invoices and purchase invoices.
