Batch Payments - Reconcilation options
Batch payment
2 Have an option to either:
2.1 - record batch payment as 1 line in bank recon
(good for multiple bills from same supplier)
or
2.2 - record batch payment in multiple lines on bank recon
(good for multiple suppliers in same payment)
I'm happy to say that Xero can already work with statement lines as they are provided, but whether a batch payment appears as one line or multiple lines is usually determined by the bank and how they generate the statement output.
That means this is generally bank-side behaviour rather than a Xero setting that can be changed within the product.
The best next step would be to check with your bank directly to confirm whether they offer different statement output formats for batch payments, or whether the one-line or multi-line format is fixed as part of their bank feed or statement file design.
Once the bank confirms what they support, that will clarify what can flow through into Xero. 😊
