Bank and cash accounts¶
You can manage as many bank or cash accounts as needed on your database. Configuring them correctly allows you to have all your banking data up-to-date and ready for reconciliation with your journal entries.
In Odoo Accounting, each bank account has a dedicated journal set to post all entries in a dedicated account. Both the journal and the account are automatically created and configured whenever you add a bank account.
Note
Cash journals and accounts must be configured manually.
Bank journals are displayed by default on the Accounting Dashboard in the form of cards which include action buttons.
