With the release of Business Central version 24, Microsoft has made some changes when you enter a lump sum bank deposit. Previously, we were able to enter the document number on each of the line items, but now when marking the “Post as lump sum” option we receive the following message.

Business Central will now require the document number of the line items to match the bank deposit number. This unfortunately removes the ability to note the payment’s document number in each of the line items.

According to Microsoft, this change was done in order to resolve an issue when undoing a posted bank deposit and now it requires that the Document number, document type, and posting date to be the same for all line items. Microsoft is looking into providing the ability to enable a field to enter the payment number, but in the meantime the recommendation will be to use the Description field to enter the payment number.

This way you can have visibility of the check number in the Customer Ledger entries although the document number in BC will be the deposit number.
