+Batch Payments: Batch Deposits (checks, cash etc.)
+==================================================
+
+A **Batch Deposit** groups multiple payments in a single batch. This allows you to deposit several
+payments into your bank account with a single transaction. This is particularly useful to deposit
+cash and checks.
+
+This feature allows you to list several customer payments and print a **deposit slip**. This ticket
+contains the details of the transactions and a reference to the batch deposit. You can then select
+this reference during a bank reconciliation to match the single bank statement line with all the
+transactions listed in the batch deposit.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+To activate the feature, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings -->
+Customer Payments`, activate **Batch Payments**, and click on *Save*.
+
+Payment Method Types
+--------------------
+
+To record new payments as part of a Batch Deposit, you have to configure first the Journal on which
+you record them.
+
+To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Journals`, open the Journal
+you want to edit, click on *Edit*, and open the *Advanced Settings* tab. In the *Payment Method
+Types* section, enable **Batch Deposit**, and click on *Save*.

+
+Bank Reconciliation
+-------------------
+
+Once the bank statements are on your database, you can reconcile the bank statement line with the
+*Batch Payment* reference. To do so, start your **Bank Reconciliation** by going to your Accounting
+dashboard and clicking on *Reconcile Items* on the related bank account. At the bank statement line,
+click on *Choose counterpart or Create Write-off* to display more options, open the *Batch Payments*
+tab, and select your Batch Payment. All related payments are automatically added.
+
+.. note::
+   The *Batch Payments* tab won't appear if a Partner is selected for this bank statement line.
