You can enter the account properties or master data when you create the account. However, you can also check or change these at any time. Proceed as follows, for example:

  1. Select the account and choose the command PROPERTIES in the context menu.
    Or select the account and click on the "Properties" icon in the Explorer toolbar.
    Or select the account and press the<F12>button.
  2. Make the desired changes in the "Account properties" dialog box that appears.


    The fields in detail:

    Field

    Description

    Holder

    The owner of the account is displayed here for information purposes.

    Account

    Account in which the purchases and sales of the various securities accounts are offset.

    You can of course also create and manage any other accounts.

    Tip: Assign meaningful names for the accounts, e.g. containing the name of the holder and the currency (e.g. Mustermann_Musterbank_USD).

    Account no.

    Enter the account number of the account here.

    Together with the currency and the bank code, the account number allows the account to be clearly identified. This means that it is possible in practice for accounts in different currencies to have the same account number and still be uniquely identified, e.g. during an import via a Portfolio Sync interface.

    Currency

    Here you specify the currency in which the account is managed when you create the account. The default setting is the holder's evaluation currency from their properties.

    The currency cannot be changed later.

    Bank

    Select the desired bank from the selection list.

    Click on the "Bank..." button to open the "Manage bank details" dialog box. There you will find all the details of the bank details you have created and can also edit them.

    If necessary, please also read the section Bank details.

    IBAN

    Enter the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) of the account here.

    The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an international, standardized notation for bank account numbers. The notation is described by the ISO standard ISO 13616:2003.

    Created on

    Enter the date on which you created the account here. The current date is set by default when the account is created.

    Right-click in a date field to quickly select today's date, the day before, the beginning of the month or the beginning of the quarter via the context menu that appears.

    Deactivated on

    If you want to deactivate this account, enter the date here.

    If an account is deactivated, it will no longer appear in Explorer after this date.

    You can display deactivated accounts in Explorer; if necessary, read the section Show deactivated depot objects in Explorer.

    Exclude from tax consideration

    Activate this checkbox if you do not want to include the account in the tax calculation. This function is useful, for example, for foreign accounts from a German perspective.

    Call money account

    If this account is a call money account, activate this checkbox.

    Interest rate

    If this account is an interest account, you have the option of creating the interest rates via the "Edit interest history" icon.

    The dialog box that appears is described in the section Histories .

    You can then see the accrued interest on the account in the "Accrued interest/interim profit" column in the balance sheet, for example.

    Interest days

    If this account is an interest-bearing account, select Interest day method.

    Interest interval

    If this account is an interest account, select the interest payment interval here:

    • annually
    • half-yearly
    • quarterly
    • monthly
    • n/a

    Remark

    You can enter additional information in the text field (e.g. about the bank).

    User-defined fields..

    This button is only active after an account has been created, i.e. when this dialog window is called up via the PROPERTIES command in the context menu of an account.

    Select the button to edit the user-defined fields for this account in the dialog box that appears.
