As +this money has been received in a physical form, someone in your company +must manually bring the checks to the bank. + +The bank will ask for a deposit ticket (also referred to as deposit +slip) to be filled-in with the details of the checks or cash to be +included in the transactions. + +The bank statement will reflect the total amount that was deposited and +the reference to the deposit ticket, not the individual checks. + +Odoo assists you to prepare and print your deposit tickets, and later on +reconcile them with your bank statement easily. + +Configuration +============= + +Install the batch deposit feature +--------------------------------- + +In order to use the batch deposit feature, you need the module **Batch +Deposit** to be installed. + +.. note:: + + Usually, this module is automatically + installed if checks are widely used in your country. + +To verify that the **Batch Deposit** feature is installed, go to the +:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` menu of the accounting application. +Check the feature: **Allow batch deposit**. + +.. image:: media/batch01.png + :align: center + +Activate the feature on your bank accounts +------------------------------------------ + +Once you have installed this feature, Odoo automatically activate bank +deposits on your main bank accounts. + +To control which bank account can do batch deposit and which can not, go +to the journal that you defined to pay your checks, usually called +'Checks' or 'Bank' (see :doc:`../../receivables/customer_payments/check`, +in the Accounting apps, :menuselection:`Configuration --> Accounting --> Journals`. + +In **Advanced Settings** tab, in section **Miscellaneous**, set Debit Method to +**Batch Deposit**. + +.. image:: media/batch02.png + :align: center + +If you check **Batch Deposit** in your debit method field, it means that +payments created using this Journal (called Payment method when you want +to make or receive a payment) will be applicable for the creation of +Batch Deposits afterwards. + +From checks received to the bank +================================ + +Receive customer checks +----------------------- + +Once your record checks received, record them on the bank account on +which you plan to deposit them. Once you select the bank account (or +check journal is you configured Odoo that way), Odoo proposes you to use +a batch deposit. Select this option if you plan to deposit the check to +your bank. + +.. image:: media/batch03.png + :align: center + +In the memo field, you can set the reference of the check. + +.. note:: + + payments can be registered from the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Payments`, + or directly on the related invoice, using the **Register Payment** button. + +Prepare a batch deposit +----------------------- + +From the Accounting application, go to the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Batch Deposit`, +and create a new **Batch Deposit**. + +.. image:: media/batch04.png + :align: center + +Select the bank, then select the payments (checks) you want to add in +this deposit. By default, Odoo proposes you all the checks that have not +been deposit yet. That way, you can verify that you do not forget or +lost a check. + +.. image:: media/batch05.png + :align: center + +You can then print the batch deposit, which will be very useful +to prepare the deposit slip that the bank usually requires to complete. + +Reconciling the Deposit with the Bank Statement +----------------------------------------------- + +When you process the bank statement reconciliation you will see the +deposit ticket number referenced in the statement. When the reconciliation +process is run, the user will be able to select the batch deposit that +matches with the bank statement line. + +.. image:: media/batch06.png + :align: center + +If you select a batch deposit, Odoo will automatically fills all the +checks contained in this deposit for the matching. (2 checks were in +this batch deposit the example below) + +.. image:: media/batch07.png + :align: center + +Troubleshooting +=============== + +I don't see the batch deposit link on bank statements? +------------------------------------------------------ + +If you don't have a batch deposit link in your bank statement, there +could be two reasons: + +- After having installed the batch deposit features, you need to reload + the page so that the browser is aware of this new feature. Just + click the reload button of your browser. + +- You do not have a batch deposit created for this bank account. + +What happens if a check was refused? +------------------------------------ + +If you have a smaller amount in your bank statement than the actual +amount in your batch deposit, it probably means that one of your check +has been refused. + +In this case, click on the line related to this check to remove it from +the bank statement matching. + +.. |image0| image:: ./media/image10.png +.. |image1| image:: ./media/image07.png +.. |image2| image:: ./media/image05.png +.. |image3| image:: ./media/image13.png +.. |image4| image:: ./media/image02.png +.. |image5| image:: ./media/image08.png +.. |image6| image:: ./media/image11.png diff --git a/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch01.png b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch01.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..212c33515 Binary files /dev/null and b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch01.png differ diff --git a/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch02.png b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch02.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..303bd81a7 Binary files /dev/null and b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch02.png differ diff --git a/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch03.png b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch03.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..153f4ea23 Binary files /dev/null and b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch03.png differ diff --git a/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch04.png b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch04.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..8c4ca7270 Binary files /dev/null and b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch04.png differ diff --git a/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch05.png b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch05.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..51a12402a Binary files /dev/null and b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch05.png differ diff --git a/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch06.png b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch06.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3c865833a Binary files /dev/null and b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch06.png differ diff --git a/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch07.png b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch07.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..63b34ed5f Binary files /dev/null and b/accounting/bank/misc/media/batch07.png differ
