================================================== 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.
