-===============================
-Manage batch deposits of checks
-===============================
-
-When your company's collections group receives checks from customers
-they will often place this money into their bank account in batches. 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 checks are received, record them on the bank account on
-which you plan to deposit them. Once you select the bank account (or
-check journal if 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 deposited 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 fill all the
-checks contained in this deposit for the matching. (2 checks were in
-the batch deposit in 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.

+==================================================
+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 :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings -->
+Customer Payments`, activate **Batch Payments**, and click on *Save*.
+
+Payment Method Types
+--------------------
+
+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 :menuselection:`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*.

+Deposit multiple payments in batch
+==================================
+
+Record payments to deposit in batch
+-----------------------------------
+
+:doc:`Register the payments <recording>` on the bank account on which you plan to deposit them by
+opening the *Customer Invoice* for which you received a payment, and clicking on *Register Payment*.
+There, select the appropriate Journal linked to your bank account and select *Batch Deposit* as
+Payment Method.

+Payments`, and click on *Create*. Next, select the Bank and Payment Method, then click on *Add a
+line*.

+
+Bank Reconciliation
+-------------------
+
+Once the bank statements are on your database, you can reconcile the bank statement line with the
+*Batch Payment* reference. To do so, start your **Bank Reconciliation** by going to your Accounting
+dashboard and clicking on *Reconcile Items* on the related bank account. At the bank statement line,
+click on *Choose counterpart or Create Write-off* to display more options, open the *Batch Payments*
+tab, and select your Batch Payment. All related payments are automatically added.
+
+.. note::
+   The *Batch Payments* tab won't appear if a Partner is selected for this bank statement line.
