Batch Deposit - Reference to pull through to bank reconciliation
When I enter a reference in batch deposit, this does not pull through to the bank reconciliation. On the bank reconciliation report, the Description is "Payment: multiple items" and the Reference field is blank. This is not useful as I have to go into each transaction and see which company the receipt has come from. Why enter a reference when it does not appear on the bank reconciliation report? When I try to search to match deposits using the company name, these deposits do not appear as the Description is unhelpful. If there are smaller batches which add up to a bank deposit amount, it takes ages to find them when reconciling.

I agree - it is really annoying having to go back into transactions to figure out who paid what - "multiple items" is not helpful at all. You have to select the customer anyway so it seems odd that this doesn't show on the bank reconciliation description. This is really frustrating.

I hate that I have to Unreconcile a deposit in order to add the Payee in the reference so that it is easier to find when having to trace transactions, then go back and Re-reconcile the deposit. You should be able to add it before reconciling.

I requested that there be an actual batch deposit option, like in QB, where each line item can be assigned to a customer/contact. We don't use invoices, so, as you said, being able to enter multiple items into "receive money" and having each line item assigned to an actual customer for future reference is important.
I think this is similar to what you are describing as a need.
It would be far more efficient than entering each separate check as "receive money" item, and then having to match up all the receipts to a single deposit in the bank rec.
