Bank deposit with cheque from different customers

When paying in cheques to the bank that corespond with an invoice please could you tell me if it is possible to pay in multiple cheques for different customers and invoices in the same transaction. As if the amount paid in is greater than the invoice amount Solar will not let you input this as it tells you to amend the amount being entered cause it does not match the invoice amount.
It does seem rather silly and time consuming that you can only pay in one cheque at a time.
Any help would be greatly apprecited.
Thanks

Hi Rachel,

When you receive a cheque from a customer for an invoice, record an invoice payment with the Deposit Into Account field set to 'Money To Be Banked' as shown here:

When you bank all your cheques, record a General Transaction from the 'Money To Be Banked' account to the 'Cheque Account' as shown here:

This will allow you to record a single bank deposit with cheques from multiple customers.

Regards,
