Company bank accounts

Company bank account

The company bank account connects the real bank account with currency, general ledger accounts and import format - the basis for secure payment transactions.

Why this point is crucial for key users

If the company bank account is properly prepared, account statements and payments do not flow into the ERP as foreign objects, but rather become part of a traceable financial chain.
