Loan not increasing bank account balance

Hello,
When I create a loan, I have to specify a bank account, presumably to indicate into which account the loan funds are deposited. However, no entry is generated in the selected account. I am selecting a loan start date that is a few weeks in the past. Is this the intended behaviour of the Loans module?

Hello - first a disclaimer: I am new to Dolibarr.

When you say “create a loan” it sounds like you set up the account directly.

From the standpoint of accounting practice you would enter the loan as a transaction in the finance journal.

If you already show a balance for the loan you may have to adjust the balance after.

Good luck!

When I say “create a loan”, I mean use the Loans module to create a loan. Doing so requires an account to be specified, but nothing occurs with respect to that account when this is done. It’s not clear to me what relationship the loan has to the specified account.

I was wondering the same thing. I was searching for an answer and arrived at this post. Does anyone know the answer ?
