In version 2024.2.0.0+ of the plugin, batching ledger entries is available. This feature will, unfortunately, not work for users with MEM installed. 

Follow this guide to start processing payments with the batching feature.

**IMPORTANT: **When you enable batching, we will no longer write the** Vendor Invoice No. **into the Payment Reference column in the Vendor Ledger Entries. This is necessary due to character limits in Business Central fields.
