Entering a Manual Bank Payment
The only entries to be entered through the cashbook as bank payments are those that appear on a Bank Statement that is not supplier-related payments and the bank account is not going to be reconciled and you don't have bank reconciliation rules set up for when importing bank statement.
If you have regular payments coming out of a particular bank account that you do Bank Reconciliation for and you import bank statements, that you don't have a supplier set up for this form of a service, then create a bank reconciliation rule and let the system create the payment for you when importing bank statement lines.
