Chapter 1: Cashbook Bank Management Setup
The following information helps you set up the Cashbook Bank Management
system. It includes information on setting up bank transfer intercompany codes,
banking institutions, chequebooks, giving access to chequebooks, audit trail codes,
and exchange rates.
When you set up Cashbook Bank Management, you can open each setup window
and enter information, or you can use the Setup Checklist window (Administration
>> Setup >> Setup Checklist) to guide you through the setup process. Refer to your
System Setup Guide (Help >> Contents >> select Setting up the System) for more
information about the Setup Checklist window.
3. Enter the unique registration keys for Microsoft Dynamics GP supplied to you.
4. Mark the checkbox for Cashbook Bank Management in the Modules group to
register it.
To begin assigning user security, identify the daily tasks that a user completes
within Microsoft Dynamics GP. Then either select from the default security roles or
create new security roles that only grant access to the tasks that the user needs.
For example, user ABC is an accounting manager for Fabrikam, Inc., and needs
access to set up and administer Cashbook Bank Management, or perform other
analysis tasks. Review the default security roles in Microsoft Dynamics GP to find
one that grants access to the appropriate analysis functionality for user ABC. For
our example, the ACCOUNTING MANAGER* security role is appropriate for user
ABC. Use the User Security Setup Window to assign the ACCOUNTING
MANAGER* security role to user ABC in the Fabrikam, Inc. company.
The default security roles for Cashbook Bank Management are ACCOUNTING
MANAGER and BOOKKEEPER. You can assign the following default security tasks
to these roles. You can also create new roles and tasks based on your requirement.
• ADMIN_COMPANY_012*
• ADMIN_FIN_009*
• ADMIN_SYSTEM_013*
• ADMIN_FIN_001*
• ADMIN_FIN_004*
• ADMIN_FIN_005*
• ADMIN_FIN_008*
• CARD_0104*
• DEFAULTUSER
• TRX_FIN_002*
• TRX_FIN_004*
• TRX_FIN_005*
• TRX_FIN_007*
• TRX_FIN_008*
• TRX_FIN_009*
• INQ_FIN_008*
• RPT_FIN_006*
To specify security settings for specific tasks in Cashbook Bank Management, use
the Security Task Setup window. (Administration >> Setup >> System >> Security
Tasks) To assign security tasks to the security roles, use the Security Role Setup
window (Administration >> Setup >> System >> Security Roles) and grant access to
the required windows, reports or files. Refer to the System Setup documentation for
more information on security in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

in the DEM and the BEF, you could have any of the following currency
combinations while entering transactions in Electronic Bank Management:
Refer to the following information to understand which two currencies will update
Microsoft Dynamics GP for a transaction.

transaction currency is different, then General Ledger, Payables Management
and Receivables Management are updated with the functional and transaction
currencies.
• If the chequebook and transaction currencies are the same, with a different
functional currency, then General Ledger, Payables Management and
Receivables Management are updated with the chequebook and functional
