Hello Thesaddlerspub-g, 

Welcome to the Community page, 

We would advise you speak to an accountant as they would be best to advise on how to record this correctly in your account. However if you are meaning the total amount you deposit then you can record the sales to undeposited funds or cash on hand, make any payments from the same account and then record bank deposit from undeposited funds/cash on hand to the bank account.
