Question

deposit confusion

Using Mac Desktop 2019. 

My company uses two bank accounts.  From the primary account, I transfer money to the secondary account.  Rather than go through the banking deposit dialog, I write a  check from the primary to the secondary account and deposit it in that fashion.  When I go to tally the deposits to the secondary account, through the report -> banking -> deposit detail menu, I get nothing reported.  I have found out that the "deposits" that I make through direct transfer via the primary check account are recorded as "checks".  It there a way to go back and make them actual deposits. They have already been reconciled and cleared.

Glad to see you in the Community, goldendog.

 

Recording a check is one of the method in transferring funds from one account to another. I agree that the transaction will show as a check in the second account, but the amount will be posted in the Deposit column. 

 

If you see an incorrect figure in your bank register, you have the option to undo the last reconciliation by following these steps:

 

  1. From the Banking menu, click Reconcile.
  2. In the Begin Reconciliation window, select the appropriate account then click Undo Last Reconciliation.
  3. A message to backup the company file before undoing a previous reconciliation is displayed. If you have already created a backup, click Continue.
  4. Click Ok when the message Undo Previous Reconciliation has completed displays. Note that the last reconciled on date has reverted to the previous date.

In reference to the undo a reconciliation steps, you can check that out in this article: Resolve common issues on Previous Reconciliation report.

 

Once done, you can delete the transactions and record the transfer. Then, reconcile the transactions again. You can follow the instructions in this link: Reconcile bank and credit card accounts (Mac).

 

If you have any follow-up questions regarding the process, please let me know in the comments below. I'd be happy to help you out again. Take care!

Thanks for your response.  Because the transactions are labeled checks and not deposit the deposit detail just doesn't work.  The work around was to to a detailed transaction report and filter for the account.  It then comes up with a list of credits and debits, the debits being the deposits.  Thank you again for your response.
