• Description. Enter a descriptive name for this bank account.
• Inactive checkbox. Mark this checkbox if this account is not currently used. If the application determines that there are pending and/or unprinted vendor or payee checks that use this bank account, the application will not allow you to enter new activity for this bank account. If an inactive bank account has been selected for any existing unprinted checks, bank account transaction templates, or vendor records, you may want to select a different (active) bank account for those items. For details, see Changing the status of a bank account to inactive.

  Note: To reactivate an inactive bank account, mark the Include inactive checkbox in the upper-right corner of the screen to display all active and inactive bank accounts. Select the account to reactivate, and then clear the Inactive checkbox for that account.
