Follow the steps below to set up your bank and create bank accounts for use in JobBag.
1. Create an Address Book Record for Your Bank
- Go to JobBag Menu

ABA File Details
If you plan to process batch payments, complete the Bank section in this record, including ABA file information.
You may need to contact your bank for the correct ABA specifications.

A bank account must be linked to a General Ledger (GL) account so receipts and payments can be posted correctly.
Ensure the appropriate GL accounts are created before proceeding.
