[16.5.6] Merged bank accounts into cash accounts tabs

[Tut]

@Meijgen, I strongly recommend against using an old version of Manager. Just a few reasons:

1. No software support for obsolete versions.
2. Any data file that has been opened by a newer version should never be used with an older version. All Manager updates are backwards compatible, but sometimes they modify the data structure. So data files that have been opened by newer versions may be corrupted if opened by older versions
3. All support discussion on this forum is in terms of current version.
4. All Guides with instructions are for current version as they are written. When updated, they are updated to the current version.

In accounting, all sources and repositories of money for transactions are considered cash accounts. So bank and cash accounts are now included in the same tab, Cash Accounts. They are distinguished during setup or editing by ticking the box to indicate whether they are maintained by a financial institution.

If you really want them to appear separately on your balance sheet, that can be done with custom control accounts. See this release note:

[16.7.65] Extended ability to create custom control accounts

In the latest version, it is now possible to have multiple control accounts for most subsidiary ledgers: Cash accounts Customers Suppliers Inventory items Fixed assets Intangible assets To create custom control account, go to Chart of Accounts and click New Account button. When creating new account you will notice Control account checkbox. If you tick the box to indicate you are creating control account, you will need to specify what this control account is made up of. Example Let’s say we…

But if you are inexperienced at accounting, as you say you are, that may be more confusing to set up than you can manage.
