Well let me clarify how exactly I did it; I have actually created a Bank Account from the New Option in the main menu on the top toolbar and on creating a bank account from there it is not showing in the chart of accounts.

 

Now if I create a Bank account in the Chart of accounts it is not getting linked to the one created from the toolbar, what I think is that there seems to be no linking between the Bank’s doc type and the accounting doc type like in the case of customers and vendors.

 

This also raises one more suggestion; that in accounts we should have the option to link the account head not just with Customers, Supplier and Employees but also with a Contact which might not be linked to any one of the other masters.

Aditya,

We know its a know issue - the "Bank" doctype is actually only used in the HR module and is only a dummy... We will remove it!
