Banks

You can use the Banks page to:

  • Identify the banks with which your institution does business
  • Set up multiple accounts in each bank

  • Set up separate debit and credit accounts for stipends so that you do not have to use the same accounts as those used for refunds.
  • Print a list of your banks and the accounts in each bank

The General Ledger Accounts report lists the general ledger debit and credit account numbers for the selected transaction codes. Each bank account is related to a general ledger account number for posting transaction activity.

Prerequisites

Depending on your task, you must have

  • Student Accounts - Bank - Delete, Edit, New, and View authorization.

  • Student Accounts – Configuration - Manage and View authorization.

To integrate Anthology Student with Anthology Finance & HCM, you must set up the Student Accounts GL Accounting system to Anthology Finance & HCM. This integration disables all the operations (such as Add, Delete, and so on) and can only be used in edit mode.

To edit an item associated with more than one campus, you must have access to all the campuses. For example, if the item is configured to be available at three campuses and you only have access to two of the campuses, you can view, but cannot edit it. (When you add an item, you can only select campuses to which you have access.)

Access Method

Select the Configuration tile > expand Student Accounts > select Banks.

Filters

By default, the grid displays all records for the campuses you are authorized to work with. You can use the drop-down at the top of the page to display only records for a specific campus.

Procedure to Add or Edit Items

  1. If you want to:

    • Add a list item, select the New button on the toolbar

    • Add a list item by copying and modifying the item, select the required row, and select the Duplicate button on the toolbar

You can also specify the type of address. For example, if your institution has a value of Previous configured for the address type, you can select the value for any previous addresses.

CampusClosed The campus or campuses to which a person or item is assigned. It is filtered to display the campuses to which you have access.

In lists that display columns, if the column contains more than one campus, you cannot sort or filter on that column.
