If you receive or make recurring payments from or to customers or suppliers, you can reuse this assignment of the customer or supplier to the bank data specified in the bank statement item you edit in this tab. To make use of this function, set the Remember Assignment for Future Payment Allocations indicator. The next time a payment allocation occurs, the system can automatically assign the payment to the given customer or supplier based on the bank data given in the bank statement item, hence saving you manual effort.
