Bank facilities register gives a comprehensive view of all the bank facilities of the entity (or entities).



Creating a bank facility


Step 1: Go to Cash Management module, select Bank facilities tab and click the + icon on top right. 



Step 2: Fill in the information on the Information tab. Add details on Covenants and Comments tabs for additional details - these fields are optional. 


The Covenant tab includes the specifications of the covenant. Under the General covenant and Financial covenant fields are free text fields so they can be used for any kind of notes or extra information that is needed. 


The Comments tab is for the notes regarding the covenant and if you need more space for the text, just click down the left button of the mouse on top of the small icon in the bottom right corner of the field in question and pull it down. The other fields will adjust accordingly in case the extra space is needed for the Financial covenant or General covenant so the fields will not overlap each other.


Click 'Save'.



Step 3: From register view select the facility you just created, click the three dots at the end of the row and select 'Edit'.




Step 6: Add facility type details


1) Go to the Details tab. Click the + icon on the top right to add the details.




2) Fill in the details. 

Facility type and currency are obligatory fields. The other fields you can fill based on your needed level of information.
