If your property does not use a live bank connection - or a particular account should be reconciled by uploading statements instead - you can add it as a manual bank account. This is available on every plan, not only Kore and Premium.
Who can do this: Anyone allowed to both edit and delete general ledger entries for the property (the same access used to reconcile bank accounts). Board members, managers and staff are treated the same: only these permissions decide.
Add the account
- Go to Property Settings, then open the Accounting tab.
- Locate the Bank & payments card and click Manage.
- Click Add a manual bank account. (If your property also uses live bank connections, click Add a bank account first, choose Reconcile from statements, then Continue.)
Choose how to set it up by selecting one option, then click Continue:
- Use an existing account - select a cash account already in your chart of accounts from the list shown.
- Create a new account - URBI creates a new cash account and designates it as a bank account in one step.
If your chart of accounts has no eligible cash account, this step is skipped and the new-account form opens directly.
- Fill in the account's details and click Save. For a new account, Code and Name are required; if one is missing, the form says so under that field. The institution, last 4 digits and currency are required for every bank account.
Once saved, you return to Bank & payments, where the account now appears under Connection.
If a bank feed already posts to the account
If someone with bank-connection access has already connected a live feed to this account, and you do not have that access yourself, the account shows as Bank feed connected instead of a status you can change. You can still see it in your chart of accounts, but connecting or managing the feed itself needs the bank connection permission.
Adding National Bank numbers
A manual bank account at National Bank can also have its bank numbers added, which Collections and Payouts use. See Add National Bank Numbers.
