What Are Store Financial Accounts

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

When the Store provides Customers with services which are based upon or supported by financial type accounting, then the use of Customer Financial Accounts is required. Such Customer Financial Accounts are configured in the [Store] > [Fin Accts] Tab.

The specifications entered here are not the Customer account ID numbers, but are rather the general characteristics of the Customer accounts. The actual numbered Customer accounts are set up elsewhere in the system, such as when a Customer Billing Account is defined, or when a Customer purchases a Gift Certificate (which creates a Customer financial type account).

Configuring the Store Financial Accounts

These accounts are characterized on the following page:

*  [Catalog] > [Catalog Manager Application] drop down box > [Stores] link > [Store Name ID] link > [Fin Accts] Tab
* Open this page to Edit, Define, or Remove a Store Financial Account.

The list of currently defined Store Financial Account Types, if any, is displayed in the top box of this screen, called "List Product Store Financial Account Settings".

The second box on this screen displays the form for editing (or creating) the Financial Account Type descriptions required for this Store.
