You can manually add bank transactions that correspond to entries on the bank statement. These can then be matched to an existing general ledger bank transaction.
For example, a debtor may have paid their fees using two direct credit transactions, to stay below their daily transaction limit.
In the following example, we have paid for furniture in two EFT transactions but have entered them in the general ledger as one. We want to represent the transactions as they appear on the bank statement and reconcile the bank account.
Note: Conversely, you can match two or more general ledger entries to a bank transaction. See Matching two or more G/L transactions to a bank transaction
