Field Description
Summarize Electronic Payments Runs in Bank Reconciliation If you want all individual payments in an electronic payments run for the bank summarized as a single transaction on the Payments tab of the Bank Statement Reconciliation form—so you can mark them cleared as a group—select this check box.

If you want all individual payments in an electronic payments run to display individually on the Payments tab of the Bank Statement Reconciliation form—so you can mark them as cleared individually—do not select this check box.

Most firms, to facilitate the statement reconciliation process, select or clear this check box based on how the bank shows electronic payments on the statement.

You can only select this option if no existing electronic payment runs for the bank have a mix of cleared and uncleared payments. In other words, the payments in each electronic payment run must be either all cleared or all selected.
