This field is used to perform the reconciliation of the banking operations that are actually listed on the hardcopy bank statement.

  • Date (field ACCDAT)

This date represents the accounting date of the original transaction.
The accounting date makes it possible to determine the posting period of the accounting entries. It is initialized by default to the current date and it can be changed depending on the value of the PIHACCDAT - Accounting date modification parameter (ACH chapter, INV group).
This date is systematically controlled in order to verify that it belongs to an open and existing fiscal year.
If a problem occurs during the control, the user will need to enter a new date, irrespective of the parameter value.

Value date.

  • Bank date (field BANDAT)

This field is specific to the Italian law and used to specify the posting date of the operation.

  • Fixed expenditures: LPV_FRA_FIX table associated with a product with a "FR" nature.

  • Entry number (field NUM)

Invoice number.
This number is used to identify the invoice in a unique way. It is entered upon each creation or automatically generated depending on the counter associated with the invoice type.

  • Reference (field REF)

Entry reference.

The Inter-banking code is used by all the banks to specify the bank operation type on the lines of the bank statements that are sent to their customers.

It is used to facilitate (sort, selection) and control the bank reconciliation between the postings in a bank account with the lines in the bank statements.

This field is initialized in the journals generated for the entered payment lines with an appropriate payment attribute.

  • Description (field DES)

This field is used to link a description to its record. This description can be printed on the records, displayed when the record code is entered in a screen, or used on selection.
The title, used by default in the reports and entry masks is replaced by the short title when it is required by display and print constraints.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

  • Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
  • In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

SEEINFOThe connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

  • Remittance no. (field FRMNUM)

When you create a new deposit slip, the number is assigned according to a sequence number counter that can be set up. By default, this sequence number counter is PY5.
