How do I record a bank deposit slip?
On Bank Deposit, type the slip total, add one line per customer, vendor or account, and Save. The deposit is a record only: the money reaches the books through the Collection and Bank Transactions.
Steps
- Open Bank Deposit and press New. Posting Status starts as Park. Type the Total Deposit Amount and the Document Date, then Create. The Posting Date locks.
- Add lines. Pick the Document Type, then the Account (a general ledger account, a customer or a vendor), and the Credit Amount.
- For a customer, pick the invoices. On a Customer line use Applied entries, tick the invoices, Copy & Close. The Credit Amount becomes their balance.
- Check Difference Amount is zero, then Save. Set Posting Status to Posted only when the slip is final: a Posted deposit can no longer be edited or deleted.
If something looks wrong
- Nothing in the general ledger, invoices still open. Expected. Record the Collection in Receivables (How do I record a collection?), and clear cheques on Bank Transactions.
