The Banking System provides access to eight basic functions of banking. These include:

	Bank Accounts
	Printing MICR Information
	Checks
	Deposits
	Adjustments
	Check Register
	Check Reconciliation
	Recurring Payments
	Batch Posting

The Check Writer tabbed dialog form provides access to the first five banking functions.

Bank Accounts

The Bank Accounts form is used to enter bank account information. You can enter multiple accounts per bank, or enter accounts for any number of banks. You can also set your starting check number, if the account is a checking account, as well as view the current bank balance and other account information.

Printing MICR Information

If you purchase the optional MICR Font (included for free with the Developer version), you can enter and print MICR information on your checks. This is really only used if you will be printing to blank check stock. MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. Banks use this to automatically process checks. If you will be printing your own checks with MICR information, you will also need to use magnetic toner. This produces a MICR font that is readable by your bank. If you are interested in printing MICR information, we can provide you with companies that sell Magnetic toner.

Once the font is installed and registered in Windows, Yes! I Can Run My Business can locate the font and display MICR information on the MICR Line in the Bank Accounts form. This information is then displayed on the Deposits, Checks and Adjustments forms. When your print any of these items, you have the option to print the MICR information.

Checks

The Checks form allows you to create and print checks. Choose the bank account you want to work with and enter check information.

	Create Check Stubs for Check Printing and Mailing
	Handle VOID/Spoiled Checks
	Enter Multiple GL Account Splits include Negative Amounts
	Search by Check Number, Date, Payee, or Memo Field Data
	Control Passwords for Reprinting or Unvoiding Checks
	Automatically Display Bills Used to Create Bill Pay Checks
	Duplicate Any Check

Several options are available for printing checks. You can print checks in several positions, as shown in the figure below. You can also select from different check types, such as Window, Standard, Pre-Printed or Plain Paper checks.

If you purchased the optional MICR Font and have magnetic toner, you can print the checks on blank paper. Otherwise, you can use virtually any type of check stock to print the check data to pre-printed checks. Just customize the check report to print the data on your pre-printed check. You can also purchase pre-printed checks through Database Creations, Inc. that can be used with Yes! I Can Run My Business.

Deposits

The Deposits form allows you to enter deposits for any bank account that you have. You can also create detailed deposit slips describing the contents of a deposit. Deposit slips can automatically be created from checks received through the Invoice system.

Adjustments

The Adjustments form is used to create a number of different types of adjusting transactions. You can setup your own transaction types that are specific to your business needs. These can include withdrawal type transactions such as bank charges or fees, or deposit type transactions, such as interest earned or wire transfers.

Check Register

The Check Register allows you to view or print all the transactions that affect a particular bank account. This register is similar to the check register you would keep for your own personal checking account. It is easy to read and move through. The register will also display voided checks and a cumulative balance.

Check Reconciliation

The Check Reconciliation form is used to reconcile each bank account. You can view Outstanding, Cleared or All Transactions as well as the current checkbook balance and current Bank Balance. The form calculates the statement difference and outstanding balance. It will also list the number and sum of outstanding checks, payments, deposits and credits.

You can easily view the check for any item by pressing the check button.

Features of this form include:

	Visual Check Register with Declining Balances
	Automatically Excludes Void Checks
	Displays All Transactions in Order of Entry
	View/Print Running Balances
	Easy to Use Check Reconciliation System
	Works by Checking Off Reconciled Transactions
	Enter Adjustments While You Reconcile

Recurring Payments

The Recurring Payments option allow you to enter standard payments that occur on a regular basis on a specific account. You can enter the payment frequency (Monthly, Daily, Weekly, Quarterly, Annually), GL and payment information for each recurring payment.

A separate form allows you to view all recurring payments and gives you the option to create checks for all or only selected checks.

Batch Posting

The Batch Posting form allows you to view and post all unposted banking transactions. You can select checks to post by bank account or selected period. Basic information about each unposted check is displays on the form and a check button provides the ability to display the actual check.
