Resolution

  2. Enter your invoice details as required. You can use the Batch Invoice and Batch Credit article to do this.

TIP:

To split an invoice across several lines. For example, for different nominal codes or products, enter separate lines. If lines share the same account, date and reference, the software automatically groups them.

Pay Date Enter the date of payment.
Bank A/C Your default bank account appears. Click the arrow then double-click the required bank account to change this.
Pay Ref Enter a reference.
When using e-payments, enter (BACS) as the Pay Ref.

  2. Check your batch totals are correct, then press Save.
