Reconcile multiple bank lines to single item
We can use a single incoming bank item for multiple invoices or expenses, but I've noticed the converse isn't true.
I had an issue at an eatery where the staff didn't get my food order until everything was paid. So one line came in for drinks and another for food. I filed the entire trip under one expense item.
When it came through Xero, the reconciliation didn't enjoy that I was trying to attribute two items to a single expense.

Thanks for the feedback here, We're going to shift this idea to delivered. As mentioned in my last update - you can record the expense as a bill in Xero, which enables you to apply multiple payments when reconciling. While you can only reconcile one statement line at a time, you can reconcile more than one statement line to a single bill or invoice.
It's worth noting spend money is treated as a direct payment, so you can only match this on a one-one basis and you would need to enter one spend money transactions for each portion of the payment.
