Modify Preferences allows you to change General Ledger interface settings as well as invoice printing and statement printing settings. There are three tabs: General Ledger Information, Invoice Printing Information, and Statement Printing Information.
This Section Includes:
ØStatement Printing Information
Select if you want to use Cash Basis. Use the drop-down list to select the default Bank Account to use when setting up new loans. You can then specify the General Ledger levels and account information:
•Default Principal Account: Asset account where principal loan payments are to be credited
•Default Interest Account: Income account where the interest payments are to be credited
•Adjustments Account: Usually an expense account
•Late Fee: Usually an income account
•Accounts Receivable: Asset account (inactive if Cash Basis is selected)
Cash or Accrual Basis
Accrual Basis causes Loan Processing to send entries to General Ledger both when invoices and payments are posted. The income account is credited and the accounts receivable account is debited at the time invoices are posted. The bank account is debited and the accounts receivable account is credited when payments are posted. Cash Basis causes Loan Processing to only send entries to the General Ledger when payments are posted. The income account is credited and the bank account is debited.
Bank Account
The bank account used for General Ledger journal entries originating in Loan Processing is not based on the Current Financial Settings but rather the Bank Account selected on this page. |
