The BIC is the Bank Identifier Code and identifies the institution whereas the IBAN is the International Bank Account Number and identifies the account with the bank. So the text "This will bring up the following dialog in which to enter your account number and the bank’s IBAN number. These fields may be left blank and filled in at a later time; they are only required for online banking. To proceed to the next step click on Next." is just wrong at this point. The dialog should contain the bank information, not the account information. They also might be needed for online banking. In today's version of KMyMoney they are simply documentation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9362 (for the BIC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number (for the IBAN) > Can somebody clarify this issue? So the BIC is stored with the institution and the IBAN with the account. Maybe, a link to the above pages is helpful inside the KMyMoney documentation. I don't like the one to a page with too many commercials anyway. Hope that makes it clear. -- Regards Thomas Baumgart GPG-FP: E55E D592 F45F 116B 8429 4F99 9C59 DB40 B75D D3BA ------------------------------------------------------------- Las Vegas - Mecca of experimental statistics.

I moved it, so the Institution chapter now has the New Institution Dialog, and in the Account chapter, the New Account Dialog first section (specify the institution) now seems to flow better. I also used both wikipedia links, replacing the old link. Obviously both chapters need new screenshots. I've attached the institution and account chapter docbook files.
