Use Add manual account in the import account picker when the source account is not already recorded. A manual source account identifies where the activity came from; its ledger mapping is a separate accounting identity.
- Choose Add manual account and enter an Account name that you can recognize in later imports.
- Select the account type and enter the statement’s three-letter currency. Add the institution and last four digits when available.
- If an opening balance is supported and known, enter it with its date. Otherwise leave the optional opening balance blank. Save, then verify the account selected in the import picker.
The source opening value does not create a ledger opening journal or certify a reconciled balance. Keep the original evidence for the separate opening and reconciliation workflow.
Check for an existing account first
Refresh accounts and compare the current list before creating a new record. Repeated account creation can divide one real bank account’s history across several destinations.
If the save succeeds but the picker cannot confirm the account immediately, use Refresh accounts. The message can indicate that the account was saved even though selection still needs a fresh read.
