Payments

A "Bank Account Payment Entry" refers to the process of recording a payment transaction in a company's accounting system where the payment is made through a bank account. There are different ways to record payments to GL accounts but the most efficient way in FA is through the GL payment system. Payments to suppliers, miscellaneous purchases, etc. can be entered here. The Quick Entries method is the fastest way to enter simple, reoccurring payments.
