Banking Batches

Overview

When cash is being collected by van drivers for transactions it can be entered here. Drivers count cash using Payments from Delivery Runs for Drivers

To Record the money for a delivery run

1. Create a batch in Journal Batches for Debtor Payments
2. Batch will appear in list - double click to select
   1. Note that Debtor Debtor Payment also uses these batches
   2. Totals include the cash and cheque amounts associated to this batch through debtor Debtor Payment
3. Count cash can be Recorded
4. Lock Batch - nothing can be added to it
5. List Locked Payment Batches - will show locked batch
6. choose the bank account
7. Consolidate and Print - will print a deposit slip for an amount of money - the cheque amount only
   1. Two PDF's created - one with cheques and one with a cash summary
8. Recorded and Counted columns must have cash counted if this is to be added to the batch
9. Note - if cash was not counted - will not be included. Also if consolidate and print has been done - can then add cash counts, then list locked payment batches, then choose bank account then consolidate and print again and total will update. 

Problems with this screen - only discrepancy is recorded vs cash column - should also compare the cash counted vs the cash recorded by payments and expenses against the batch. Also "Create Cash Discrepancy Journal" does not popup with reason and was not able to find the journal
