Jonathan Castillo (jcs) 992ead9e0a [IMP] contributing: modify titles and headings guidelines
The previous guidelines for titles and headings included an exception to
capitalize feature names as they are written in the apps. However, this
exception seems to have confused most writers as it isn't always clear
what should be considered as a feature name or what should be considered
as a noun or noun group. This commit removes this exception to make the
writing and reviewing processes easier while retaining good titles and
improving consistency across the documentation. It also changes the
titles of the Accounting section to provide a better example to other
writers.

==================================================
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*.

*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.
