Bank Account Reports

The MEM versions of the various bank reports are copies of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central reports.

The following reports are available from the Report menu:

Bank Accounts - Detail Trial Balance
Trial Balance by Periods
Bank Account - List

These other bank reports are available by selecting More options > Reports:

Check Details
Receivable – payable
Trial Balance

Cash Requirement. By date
Bank Account – reconcile

With the Entity Filter, you can select a range of entities or specific entities to appear on the report.

Based on the security settings on the Multi-Entity Management Setup page, the generated report(s) shows only the records that belong to entities to which you have access and match the other criteria that you specified. MEM security settings can restrict the visibility and access to the following types of records based on the entities to which you have access: bank account, customer, fixed asset, item, location, and vendor.

When the Entity Filter contains specific entities, the report shows only the records for the specified entities.
When the Entity Filter contains a range of entities, the report shows only the records within the specified entity range.
When the Entity Filter is empty, the report shows all records that belong to entities to which you have access.

Assign the Owner Entity to a Bank Account

To assign the owner entity to a bank account, follow the steps in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central documentation to create or edit a bank account and incorporate the following step:
