No available bank accounts

When you select to bills to pay, ensure that accounts have been set up for the default payment method to prevent any error messages about no bank accounts.

Another way to prevent bank account error messages is by selecting the appropriate options when paying bills that are in a currency other than the company base currency.

Reasons for a message about no bank accounts

Verify the default payment method for paying bills and ensure that the payment method has been fully configured. For example:

  • If Check is the default payment method, ensure that at least one has been set up.
  • If standard ACH is the default payment method, ensure that you've set up your bank as an ACH bank and have associated one or more Checking accounts with the ACH bank (standard ACH setup).

To determine the default payment method:

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > Setup > Configuration.
  2. In the Defaults section, review the Payment method value.

If appropriate, make an inactive account active:

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All/Setup > Accounts > Checking > Edit.
  2. Change Status to Active.

Pay the bill with an account that uses the base currency of the company:

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Pay bills.
  2. In Bill Currency, select the currency of the bill.
  3. Select the Use base currency banks to pay checkbox.
  4. Select View.
