| 2 | +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. |
| 18 | + |
