Link transction payment to multiple invoices

Hi !
I’m trying to use the Transactions/Bank/Expenses using the desktop app (v5.8.48-L158). My bank acount is synchronized with GoCardless (thanks for EU customers !), and the online help says that a deposit can be linked to multiple invoices. A very simple example that happens every single day is the following :

  • customers pay with their credit card their services and goods at the shop.
  • at the end of the day, my payment terminal send the info to my bank and the total amount is credited on my banx acount. Nothing fancy.
  • the day after, after gocardless synchronizes everything, I try to link the multiple invoices to the said total amount with no success. I can only select one invoice for the deposit. Selecting a invoice’s checkbox make all the other invoices disappear.

Am I missing something ? Thank you for any help.

Hi,

Is it possible the invoice belong to different clients, once you select an invoice the app will only show other invoices for the same client.

Thank you for your answer. I understand the logic behind it, but for all the non-online businesses that use a payment terminal, you don’t get the deposit customer by customer. You only get one global deposit each night. I’m sure a non negligible part of InvoiceNinja users are in the same case.
Is there any known workaround or any chance the feature evolves in a near future ?

Sorry, I’m not aware of any workarounds.

Feel free to create an issue to request a change.

Done, thanks !
I’ve tried to explain it with my best English.

May I suggest to copy the Transactions/Expenses ability for this : you can link a single transaction to multiple expenses from different supliers, as long as the expenses are created manually (you cannot create mutliple expenses from one transactiion with a rule, which is logical).
That’s great, because some suppliers use domicilied bills, and they are paid by the bank (for example) at the end of the month in one transaction to several suppliers.
Deposit transactions should have the same ability.

I did suggest this on Github.

For now I have some kind of workaround, which is more a bodge than a hack. After each credit card payment, manually start a deposit procedure. The day after, Each payment appears as a separate deposit.
Needless to say it’s only manageable if you have a few per day…
