====================

Outstanding accounts
3+
====================
4+
5+
By default, payments are registered through transitory accounts named **outstanding accounts**,
6+
before being recorded in your bank account.
7+
8+
- An **outstanding payments account** is where outgoing payments are posted until they are linked
9+
with a withdrawal from your bank statement.
10+
- An **outstanding receipts account** is where incoming payments are posted until they are linked
11+
with a deposit from your bank statement.
12+
13+
These accounts should be of :ref:`type <chart-of-account/type>` :guilabel:`Current Assets`.
14+
15+
.. note::
16+
The movement from an outstanding account to a bank account is done automatically when you
17+
reconcile the bank account with a bank statement.

Configuration
20+
=============
21+
22+
Default accounts configuration
23+
------------------------------
24+
25+
The outstanding accounts are defined by default. If necessary, you can update them by going to
26+
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Default Accounts` and update your
27+
:guilabel:`Outstanding Receipts Account` and :guilabel:`Outstanding Payments Account`.
28+
29+
Bank and cash journals configuration
30+
------------------------------------
31+
32+
You can also set specific outstanding accounts for any journal with the :ref:`type
33+
<chart-of-account/type>` :guilabel:`Bank` or :guilabel:`Cash`.
34+
35+
From your :guilabel:`Accounting Dashboard`, click on the menu selection ⋮ of the journal you want to
36+
configure, and click on :guilabel:`Configuration`, then open the :guilabel:`Incoming/Outgoing
37+
Payments` tab. To display the outstanding accounts column, click on the toggle button and check the
38+
:guilabel:`Outstanding Receipts/Payments accounts`, then update the account.

.. note::
45+
If you do not specify an outstanding payments account or an outstanding receipts account for a
46+
specific journal, Odoo uses the default outstanding accounts.
