Batch Payments: Batch Deposits (checks, cash etc.)

A Batch Deposit groups multiple payments in a single batch. This allows you to deposit several payments into your bank account with a single transaction. This is particularly useful to deposit cash and checks.

This feature allows you to list several customer payments and print a deposit slip. This ticket contains the details of the transactions and a reference to the batch deposit. You can then select this reference during a bank reconciliation to match the single bank statement line with all the transactions listed in the batch deposit.

Configuration

To activate the feature, go to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings ‣ Customer Payments, activate Batch Payments, and click on Save.

To record new payments as part of a Batch Deposit, you have to configure first the Journal on which you record them.

To do so, go to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Journals, open the Journal you want to edit, click on Edit, and open the Advanced Settings tab. In the Payment Method Types section, enable Batch Deposit, and click on Save.
