I'm still working on this one.

Thanks for the feedback Sally :)

I can easily implement the former approach, summarising totals by their payment
types, and have attached a followup patch to achieve this. The latter format of
Banked/Bankable is proving more allusive as it would require some additional
handling within the definition of payments types such that we could easily
identify types that are 'automatically banked' vs those that require the
librarian to collect from the till at the end of the day.  It seems obvious on
first look, but I wonder for example in the cases where libraries take foodbank
donations in lue of payments for example if that would be 'automatically
banked' in so much as it immediately gets moved into a shared pile of foodbank
goods vs being kept under the till to be checked at the end of the day.  As
such I think the later approach lends itself to requiring the payment_types
authorized value being merged with credit_types first.
