Grouping Example
The number of cash entry documents and lines that are created when you process an AR cash transaction depends upon:
- Your grouping options
- The document types. Separate cash entry documents are always created for SIN and SCN documents.
- The 'Maximum Lines in a Group' and 'Maximum Lines on a Cash Entry' custom settings.
This example illustrates the effect that grouping can have on the number of cash entry documents and lines that are created. You can group at line level by enabling grouping on particular fields in the bank lockbox import definition. And you can group at header level when you start the cash entry creation process by choosing LBX Only, Group by Type or All Transactions.
Let's assume that your AR cash transaction contains the following lines which have all imported successfully:
Line Number | Type | Document number | Account | Document Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | LBX | SIN000001 | ABC Holdings | 100.00 |
2 | LBX | SIN000002 | ABC Holdings | 200.00 |
3 | LBX | SIN000003 | XYZ Incorporated | 300.00 |
4 | LBX | SCN000001 | ABC Holdings | -50.00 |
5 | WIRE | SIN000004 | ABC Holdings | 400.00 |
6 | WIRE | SIN000005 | XYZ Incorporated | 500.00 |
The sections below illustrate the cash entry documents and lines that will be created when using different grouping options. Notice that a separate cash entry document is always created for the sales credit note (SCN000001).

2 | ABC Holdings | -50.00 | SCN000001 |
In this example, because all the document reference numbers are unique, a separate cash entry document line is created for each record.
