Steps to Add a Bank Account in Odoo

    Go to the Accounting App

        From the main dashboard, click Accounting.

    Enable Developer Mode (optional but helpful)

        Go to Settings > Activate Developer Mode (if not already enabled).

    Open Bank Accounts Menu

        Go to Accounting > Configuration > Bank Accounts

        OR

        In older versions: Accounting > Configuration > Journals > Bank Accounts

    Click “Create”

        You’ll see a form to add a new bank account.

    Fill in the Bank Account Details

        Bank: Select the bank name (you can create a new one)

        Account Number: Your real bank account number

        Account Holder: Your company name or the account owner's name

        Currency: Choose the currency if it’s different from company currency

        Bank Identifier Code (BIC/SWIFT): Optional, but useful for international transfers

        IBAN: Optional depending on your country

    Assign to Company (if multi-company)

        Make sure it’s assigned to the correct company if you have more than one.

    Save the Bank Account

    Check/Link with Bank Journal

        Go to Accounting > Configuration > Journals

        Open your Bank journal and make sure it’s linked to the bank account you created.

        You can also create a new journal for this bank.

Hope it helps.

2. Create a new journal:
   • Journal Name : HDFC Bank Journal
