Detail Checking Account (Postable)

Accounts > Maintaining Accounts > Account types > Detail Check Account (Postable)

This type is available only if you're creating an asset account. Choose this selection if you intend to assign transactions to the account you're creating, and you want to spend money using the funds in this account. If this selection is marked for an existing account, the account has already been designated as a detail checking account.

Accounts with checking appear in lists in transaction windows throughout the MYOB AccountEdge system. Each time you spend money in AccountEdge, you can select the checking account you want to use.

Each detail checking account is assigned to the header account that appears directly above it in the list on the left side of the Accounts List window. Detail checking accounts appear in plain type, and header accounts appear in bold type.

Transaction amounts can be assigned (posted) to detail accounts; that is, when you enter a transaction in AccountEdge, you can enter a detail checking account. The amount of the transaction will then be included in the balance of the detail checking account. Detail accounts can be Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4.

Transaction numbers are entered in windows like the Spend Money window, where you write your Spend Money transactions. Each time you write a Spend Money transaction in AccountEdge, the next transaction's number will increment by one. If you change the number when you create a transaction, the next transaction's number will increment by one from the number you entered.
