General
Enable e-BankingSelect this check box to activate e-Banking. This displays the E-payments and E-reconcile options within Bank accounts.
Group items in Bank Rec.This option affects how transactions appear in the Reconcile window. When selected, consecutive transactions of the same type are combined as one item if the reference and the date are the same.
List Invoice/Credit by item line 

Select this check box to display each individual item transaction when viewing invoices in the Customer Receipt and Supplier Payment windows.
Create Bank Reconciliation PDFSelect this check box to generate a PDF report when you reconcile your bank account.

The PDF report is attached to the memo tab of the bank account record for you to view at any time. Each report takes the statement reference entered during reconciliation as its title. 

Depending on the number of transactions to be reconciled, the PDF report may take a little while to generate. If you don’t want a PDF report, clear this check box.
No Warning on Visa receiptsIf you enter a receipt on a company credit card account that's not a credit card receipts account, a warning appears to advise you that the account you've selected is for payments only. 

Select this check box to turn this warning off.
Group Bank TransactionsThis option affects whether transactions are grouped or not and how they therefore appear in the bank activity.

Select this check box to group consecutive bank payments and bank receipts which have the same reference and date. When set, this option doesn't group transactions previously posted when the setting was not set.
