Balance accounts

The table displays the balance accounts that are available when you post to this journal in WINPACCS Accounting. Click below the table on Edit to add accounts using the button above the table (Add). You cannot remove accounts once you have added them and released the journal. However, you can click on activate/deactivate at the end of each line to specify whether an account can be posted to. Click below the table on Save to apply your changes. The assigned accounts are forwarded to WINPACCS Accounting when you release the journal and publish the project.

NOTE: In the project chart of accounts it is possible to set uniformly for all a project’s journals whether an account may be posted to.

You can assign the following balance accounts to a journal:

All accounts of the Balance (receivables, payables) account class that were created in the Project chart of accounts for this project and can be posted to.

All accounts of the Balance (bank, cash) account class that were created in the Project chart of accounts for this project and can be posted to. Accounts of the Bank account group must also be assigned to bank details that have the same currency as the journal in order to be available here. Only one journal can be assigned to a bank account. Confidential journals are an exception: Here you can assign a maximum of one confidential and one nonconfidential journal to a bank account.

It is recommended to only assign one bank account to a journal at a time. The balance of the journal in WINPACCS Accounting can then be very easily compared with the balance on the bank statement when posting. This also simplifies bank reconciliations performed at month-end closings, since the bank statement and bank reconciliation show the same balance on the closing date.
