Summary
Understand how the Group option in accounting streamlines payments by consolidating them into a single transaction for easier bank statement management.
This article covers:
How it works
The Group option in Box+Dice Accounting allows you to combine multiple transactions into a single payment entry. This grouped transaction appears as one line in your ABA file and on your bank statement, simplifying reconciliation.
When you enable the Group option:
- Multiple payments are merged into one transaction in the ABA file
- The same grouped transaction appears as a single entry on your bank statement
- In Box+Dice, this entry displays as a ‘multiple’ item in the Reconciliation Area, allowing you to reconcile all related transactions with a single click
Tip: Grouping is particularly useful if you manage a large database with many transactions—it reduces hundreds of individual entries into one, saving time and improving clarity.
Group transactions
To group transactions into a single ABA:
- Go to: Accounting > Trust
- Click the Payments tab
- Select the transactions you want to group
- Click Group
- Enter a Group Name in the new modal
- Click Group
You can now generate the ABA file, and the system will automatically group the transactions into a single ABA entry.
Once grouped:
- The transaction appears in the Reconciliation Area as a multiple-item
- You can reconcile all included payments with a single click
