Can you record a bank deposit as a non-sales item?Our bank makes monthly refunds of charges and when I entered them as bank deposits they are on my vat return as sales!

Hi @TSchonen,

I'm here to share insight on your query about recording a deposit without it appearing as a sale transaction.

Say, you record a deposit transaction. Set the Received From column to the supplier in question. As well as enter the same expense account under the Account column. Then the deposit will show up in your Profit and Loss Detail report under the expense category where it was assigned to. 

You can run the Profit and Loss Detail report to confirm this deposit isn't showing up as a sale transaction.

Here's how:

1. Click the Reports tab.
2. On the search box, type in Profit and Loss Detail.

I've replicated this on my end and came up with this result:

As you can see in the image above, the deposit transaction appears under the expense category, although it still acts as a regular deposit transaction. 

You can also view this article for supplier refunds: How do I handle supplier credits and refunds? This contains 2 scenarios where you can apply supplier credits to record a supplier refund. 

Let me know if you have other questions by leaving a comment below. I'll be sure to get back to you.
