Accounting & Banks
The NaMa Accounting System is the financial engine of the whole product: every document in Nama — a sales invoice, a stock issue, a payroll run, an asset depreciation — ultimately lands as an accounting effect in the general ledger. This is where you define the chart of accounts, record manual journals and vouchers, manage banks, cheques, loans and investments, and finally produce the financial statements.
Is this module for me?
If your work touches the general ledger, auditing, cash and bank management, or preparing financial statements and budgets — this is your module. If instead you work in sales, inventory or HR, you'll meet accounting indirectly: your documents generate automatic ledger entries that surface here, and the accounting team reviews them through the screens these guides describe.
Where are the screens?
The module's screens hang off two main roots in the menu tree:
- Accounting — the general ledger, chart of accounts, journals, vouchers, credit/debit notes, year-end closing, financial statements and budgets.
- Banks — banks and bank accounts, transfers and adjustments, cheques (financial papers), loans, letters of guarantee, letters of credit, deposits and investments.
There's also a Budgets root for financial planning. Each page points you to the exact path to reach the screen it covers.
What needs a separate license?
Accounting features are sold as licensed sub-modules, so some screens may not appear unless their license is switched on. The guides below are grouped by these licenses, and every page states which license its features require — useful for users figuring out what they have, and for support diagnosing "why is this screen missing".
Guides are being published progressively
Pages are being released in waves, starting with the most-used areas (foundations, banks & cheques, reports). Each group's page links will appear here as they're published, and you can always browse what's available from the sidebar.
