Direct Debits; new functionality added to combine Direct Debits where Transactions are for the same main Client, Bank Account etc.

New functionality has been added to combine Direct Debit payments for different Accounts where the main Client and Bank Account details are the same.

Each relevant Payment Method now includes an option "Combine with other payments for the same 'Main' Client?". Other combine options are disallowed if this checked.

In the Process Direct Debit Payments wizard each Transaction line will include a new "Combine" checkbox - if the Payment Method allows this. On commit, Transaction lines where "Combine" is checked AND the Account's Main Client, Payment Method, Account Sort code (BSB) and Account Numbers match will be combined into the same Bank Direct Debit Transaction. The Summary Page has been updated with a new "Combined Payment" block.

Note, the Account Name, Expiry and Security Code will not be matched - and the first Account's details will be used. In addition, the Particulars, Code and Reference will always be from the first Account. The tag "[ClientId]" has been added and will be replaced with the Client's code.
