Single payment to multiple suppliers

Hi @sjl

It's just the way the system has been designed (and it works very well for most users).

Here's a quick guide on how you can quickly input the BACS payment:

1. Create a new bank account 'BACS'

2. Looking at your list of purchases, tick the ones that are part of the BACS run, and click "Update as Paid":

3. Select the BACS account and enter the relevant details (payment type isn't necessarily needed, it's more for reference)

   This then creates the bank entries in the BACS account:

4. In your current bank account, create the entry on your bank statement (when the money leaves). This can be manual or through bank statement import:

5. Tag it as a transfer to the BACS account:

Plus, if the entry on your bank statement is the same each month (or similar), you can tick the little box here too, and it will even tag it automatically going forward.

So really, the biggest step is setting it up.

Hope that helps!
