Hi melslade
Thank you for your feedback in regards to this.
I personally actually disagree with this idea, however I can see the benefit of it for clients. The reason why I disagree with it is the principle of bank feeds is to make bank reconciliation easier. A reconciliation being matching your transactions in AccountRight with your transactions on your bank statement/from your bank. If you are recording multiple transactions in AccountRight but only one transaction is going through your bank account then you are not truly reflecting what your bank statements shows and therefore not "truly" reconciling your account. In theory for it to be a "true" reconciliation you should be matching what is showing on the bank statement and this would mean having one transaction flow through the bank account, such as using Prepare Electronic Payments or Prepare Bank Deposit. Having said that I do see the benefit of it for clients to improve the workflow and allow for clients that would like to match transactions to multiple AccountRight transaction the ability to do so. I have also shared your feedback in regards to this idea with the team.
You also mentioned that you would like to manually reconcile your accounts, you are more than welcome to do that. I would just like to mention that unless you have contacted the bank feeds team on 1300 555 931 , the feeds will still come through. This does mean that when you decided to use bank feeds again to reconcile your accounts you would have to have to manually hide the transactions, currently one by one, that have been stored up. I would suggest if you don't wish to process a Prepare Electronic Payment or Prepare Bank Deposit process, that you use bank feeds for the transactions that you want to match one bank feed to one AccountRight transaction then use the Reconcile Accounts screen for the multiple transactions and hide the bank feed.To hide a bank feed you would right click on the bank feed transaction and select Hide Transaction.
