+==========================
+Vendor Batch Payment Merge
+==========================
 
-This Odoo addon enhances the batch payment functionality to allow direct creation of payment lines within the batch payment form, rather than selecting existing payments. It also adds an expense account field to payment lines that will be used in journal entries instead of the default payable/receivable account.

-## Features
+Features
+========
 
 1. **Direct Payment Line Creation**: Create payment lines directly within the batch payment form without having to create individual payments first.
 2. **Expense Account Field**: Add an expense account to each payment line that will be used in the journal entry instead of the default payable/receivable account.
 3. **Automatic Payment Generation**: Generate actual payments from the direct payment lines with a single click.
 4. **Support for Both Inbound and Outbound Payments**: Works with both customer and vendor batch payments.
 5. **Smart Partner Filtering**: Automatically shows appropriate partners based on batch type:
-   - For vendor payments (outbound): Shows partners with supplier_rank > 0
+    * For vendor payments (outbound): Shows partners with supplier_rank > 0
-   - For customer payments (inbound): Shows partners with customer_rank > 0
+    * For customer payments (inbound): Shows partners with customer_rank > 0
