Banking > Entering transactions in the Bank Register window
You can enter the following transactions in the Bank Register window: cheques, deposits, payments to suppliers, payments from customers, sales and purchases.
The main advantages of using the Bank Register window to enter transactions instead of using transaction windows such as Spend Money, are speed and convenience. For example, you can record a customer payment, pay a bill and then write a cheque without having to open multiple windows and switch between them. As transactions can be recorded with minimum detail, you save time when entering a batch of transactions. Note that you cannot use the Bank Register window to record electronic payments.
You can also use the Bank Register window to import your bank and credit card statements. If a statement contains any transactions that you have not entered, you can add them quickly in the Bank Register window. For more information, see Importing statements.
