Whats a batch number?
The batch number is a record field that groups together deposits to various clients into a single line item on the bank reconciliation. Typically, most users will use a batch number that contains the date of the deposit and some other identifying number, such as…”041599-1″. This batch number identifies the date at 04/15/99, and this is deposit slip number one. You don’t have to use a specific number format (the field is completely user defined), but when reconciling the statement, a batch number that has a specific meaning helps.
