To make it easier to analyse and reconcile your bank transactions, you can group BP, CP, VP, BR, CR and VR transactions in bank activity, the Transactions module and bank reconciliation.

Bank transactions are grouped when they're entered in the same batch entry window and have the same date and reference.

  NOTE: If a transaction has no reference it isn't grouped. 

You can change these settings at any time to suit your way of working. Let's take a look.

Group bank transactions in bank activity and Transactions

1. Go to Settings, then click Bank Defaults.
2. Select Group Bank Transactions.

NOTE: This is not a retrospective change. If the check box was clear before posting the transactions, they're not grouped when this box is selected. Similarly, if transactions are grouped using this option, clearing this box does not ungroup them. 

Group items in your bank reconciliation

1. Go to Settings, then click Bank Defaults.
2. Select Group items in Bank Rec..

You can group or ungroup transactions at any time by selecting or clearing this box. Transactions not grouped on the audit trail can still be grouped in the Bank Reconciliation window. 

TIP: Grouped transactions have a Y in the Grouped column of the Bank Reconciliation window, so you can check quickly.

NOTE: If items in the bank reconciliation are still grouped when this check box is not selected, the transactions must have been grouped through the Group Bank Transactions option.
