Introduction
Managing business transactions efficiently is crucial for growth, and OptyERP simplifies this process through its Payment Accounts feature. With Payment Accounts, you can track all your business finances in one place, just like a bank account. Whether you’re transferring funds, receiving payments, or paying suppliers, OptyERP makes it easy to manage and organize every financial transaction. This guide will take you through the steps of setting up payment accounts, adding details, and managing transfers.

Step 1: Enabling Payment Accounts in OptyERP

Before you can start managing your business finances through OptyERP, you need to enable the Payment Account module.

1. Go to Settings: Navigate to Settings -> Business Settings -> Modules.
2. Enable Payment Accounts: Here, toggle the switch to enable the 'Payment Accounts' feature.
3. Save Your Settings: Once enabled, click "Save." Now, the 'Payment Accounts' option will appear in the left navigation bar.

With this enabled, you are now ready to manage and track payments effortlessly in OptyERP.

Step 2: Adding Payment Account Types and Sub-types

OptyERP allows you to organize payment accounts into types and sub-types, which helps categorize different types of financial transactions.

1. Navigate to Payment Accounts: Go to Payment Accounts -> List Accounts -> Account Types.
2. Add a New Account Type: Click the "Add" button, enter the account type name, and leave the parent account type unselected if it’s a main category.
3. Creating Sub-Account Types: To add a sub-account type, click "Add," enter the name, and choose a parent account type. This structure lets you organize accounts into main categories and subcategories for easier management.

Now, when creating new payment accounts, you can assign them to the appropriate type based on your business needs.

Step 3: Creating Payment Accounts

Once account types and sub-types are set up, the next step is to create individual payment accounts that represent your business transactions, much like setting up a bank account.

1. Go to Payment Accounts: Navigate to Payment Accounts -> List Accounts.
2. Click Add: Click the "Add" button to create a new payment account.
3. Fill in the Details: Provide key details like account name, account number, type (select from the previously created types), opening balance, and any additional account information. This might include UPI IDs, SWIFT codes, or other necessary details based on your account’s location and needs.

Step 4: Transferring Funds Between Payment Accounts

OptyERP allows easy transfer of funds between payment accounts. This feature helps when moving cash from one account to another, making internal fund transfers seamless.

1. Go to Fund Transfer: Navigate to Payment Accounts -> List Accounts, and select the "Fund Transfer" option.
2. Select Accounts: Choose the accounts you wish to transfer funds between and input the necessary details.
3. Confirm the Transfer: Complete the transfer, and OptyERP will update the balances in both accounts.

Step 5: Setting Default Payment Accounts for Payment Methods

To make payments easier for sales, purchases, and expenses, you can link specific payment accounts to payment methods, ensuring the right account is automatically selected during transactions.

1. Navigate to Business Location Settings: Go to Add/Edit Business Location.
2. Select Default Payment Accounts: Choose the default payment account for each payment method (e.g., cash, bank transfer).
3. Save Changes: Once set, whenever you add a payment, the linked account will be automatically selected, saving time and reducing the chance of errors.

Conclusion
