Bank Balances

FarmBooks supports an unlimited number of bank account codes.  In prior versions, you were limited to nine bank codes in the range 0021 – 0029.  The bank drop down list is still sorted by bank codes so you may want to decide how you want to see your list sorted when creating your own bank code.  If you use only one checking account for your farming operation, you can still separate farm and family living expenses by using the appropriate ATIG codes.
