Financial Institutions
General information about code lists can be found in the Basic Settings chapter, section Code Lists.
This is a list of financial institutions. It is populated at the time of installation. It is used when creating payment orders and when setting up bank details in company address records.
You can open the list from the "Tools" menu under "Code Lists -> Financial Institutions".
The top toolbar of the table contains a number of buttons whose functions are described in the dedicated chapter "Program Controls".

Main Panel
Press the "New" button or the keyboard shortcut Alt+N to open the form for a new record.
The top toolbar of the form contains a number of buttons whose functions are described in the dedicated chapter "Program Controls".
Bank Code: This is a four-digit number commonly used in payment transactions as the bank code.
Name: Required field, can contain up to 255 characters. This generally represents the record in overviews, print reports, or selection lists, so it should identify the record in a unique way. If you configured foreign languages during initial setup, pressing the button
allows you to fill in the "Name" field in the selected foreign languages. These language variants of the name are printed on documents when using foreign-language printing. Pressing the button
closes the fields for names in foreign languages.

"Texts" Tab
The "Texts" tab is included in all code lists and all tables. It contains two fields where you can enter data according to your own needs. Filling them in is not required.
Description: You can provide a more detailed description.
Note: The note is used to alert users to any special characteristics of the record or to highlight anything other users should be aware of when working with the record.

"Administration" Tab
The "Administration" tab contains information about the time validity and visibility of the given record in the code list (table). The validity of a record is defined by a range of calendar years. Within the specified range of years the record is valid; outside of that range the record is not valid and will not be displayed in the code list at all. By restricting validity, you ensure that users are not slowed down by scrolling through obsolete records during routine use of the code list.
Because time validity is tied to calendar years, it does not correspond to fiscal accounting periods.
Valid from: The calendar year from which the record becomes valid.
Valid to: The calendar year in which the record's validity ends.
If you require unlimited validity for a record, do not change the default value of "0" in the Valid from field or the value of "9999" in the Valid to field. The record will then be usable in all calendar years and will appear in the list for every calendar year.
If you set both the Valid from and Valid to fields to "2016", the record will only be usable in the year 2016, meaning it will only be visible in the list during that year (see accounting period in the side navigation header).
