Question

Hello,

 

I am a bit confused with how to record Cash Bank Deposits from my retail register. Currently I have them listed as 'Deposits' with my company being the 'vendor' as I am the one depositing. I think this is messing up my Reports as it is showing cash in the negative. Does anyone know how I should go back and record these cash deposits from sales to the bank appropriately. Thanks so much, still very new to this.

We can edit your deposit transaction and correct the account setup to ensure your reports reflect positive balances, mcgovernwallawalla. I'd be glad to elaborate on this further and clarify this matter.

 

The negative balance in your reports can occur due to the setup of your bank deposit transaction. This happens if a bank account is selected in the Accounts field instead of a sales account in the Add funds to this deposit section. To do this, here's how

 

  1. Search for your deposit transaction using the magnifying icon and open it.
  2. Navigate to the Add funds to this deposit section to see the deposit fields. 
  3. Fill out the necessary fields such as the RECEIVED FROM, ACCOUNT to sales account, and AMOUNT fields.
  4. In the PAYMENT METHOD field, please ensure to choose CASH.
  5. Click Save and close once done.

 

If you have already reconciled your account, I recommend consulting with your accountant before making changes to ensure that any alterations will not affect previously recorded transactions.

 

Additionally, please ensure to allocate time to reconcile your bank entries in QuickBooks. Doing so helps maintain accurate financial records and ensures that your bank and credit card statements match.

 

Furthermore, consider exploring QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping to enhance your accounting practices, ensure precision in your financial records, and receive expert guidance. This service allows you to concentrate more on business growth.
