Vendor bank accounts are used when you pay a vendor electronically. You can modify the active and expiration dates for a vendor bank account to specify when a bank account is available to accept payments. You might modify dates when a vendor no longer uses a specific bank account, or when a bank account exists but you cannot yet send payments to it.

By default, all bank accounts have blank active and expiration dates so that they are always active.

1. Click Accounts payable> Common Forms> Vendor Details.

2. Select the vendor whose bank account you are modifying.

3. Click Setup> Bank accounts.

4. On the Generaltab, enter a date in the Active datefield to specify when the bank account is available to accept payments. Leave the field blank to specify that the bank account is available immediately.

5. Enter a date in the Expiry datefield to specify when the bank account is no longer available to accept payments. Leave the field blank to specify that there is no known date when the bank account will no longer accept payments.
