A transaction_line_item represents a subset of a transaction. This often occurs for ACH transactions where a single bulk transaction is comprised of multiple individual line items. For example, if 100 Payment Orders are sent to the bank on a single day and each payment order is a $5 credit, the next day you will receive only a single transaction for the activity. While this could be the full $500 debit, oftentimes banks will hold individual payment orders for longer processing and some items might have been returned. This leads to cases where the full breakdown of a transaction is unclear or requires manual work to reconcile.
Modern Treasury removes the guesswork of figuring out these cases by automatically creating line items for these transactions using information from the bank. We automatically reconcile all activity for Payment Orders created through the system, allowing you full visibility into your bank statements. Modern Treasury will only link the payment orders to transaction line items when we are 100% sure of the match. If we are not, the transactable association will remain null.
