Batch payments
==============
Batch payments allow grouping payments from multiple customers or vendors into a single batch and
generating a detailed deposit slip or payment file with a batch reference. This reference can be
used during :doc:`reconciliation <../bank/reconciliation>` to match bank transactions with the
corresponding payments. This feature is particularly useful for submitting :doc:`SEPA Direct Debit
payments <batch_sdd>`, depositing cash payments or :ref:`checks <accounting/payments/checks>`, or
generating outgoing payment files, such as :doc:`SEPA <pay_sepa>` or :ref:`NACHA <l10n_us/nacha>`.
Configuration
=============
To enable batch payments, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings`, scroll
down to the :guilabel:`Customer Payments` section, and enable :guilabel:`Batch Payments`.

Batch creation
==============
To create a batch payment, follow these steps:
#. Make sure all payments to be included in the batch have been :ref:`registered
<accounting/payments/from-invoice-bill>`.
#. Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Payments`.
#. Select the payments to include in the batch.
.. note::
All payments in the batch must use the same payment method. If needed, payments can be grouped
using the :guilabel:`Payment Method Line`.
#. Click :guilabel:`Create batch` or click :icon:`fa-cog` :guilabel:`Actions` and select
:guilabel:`Create batch payment`.
#. In the batch payment form, review the selected payments. If any individual payments were missed,
click :guilabel:`Add a line` and select the missing payments to be included in the batch.
#. Once all relevant payments are included, click :guilabel:`Validate` to finalize the batch.
.. note::
Once validated, no additional payments can be added to a batch.
.. tip::
- Click :guilabel:`Print` to download a list of the included payments.
- To view existing batch payments, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Batch
Payments`.
Bank reconciliation
