To track this transaction in Accounts Receivable, you need to choose a customer as the payee

Hi, GSP.

May I know what transactions are we trying to run? Technically, when you use an Accounts Receivable category on a deposit, you'll need to tag the customer in the Received From field, not on the Payee field but you may put the name there as well. 

The Payee field is for the entire transaction while the Received From field is online associated to the distribution account, which is A/R in this case. For some reason, QuickBooks has a Payee field for deposits, which are only applicable to other transactions like sales receipts or checks.

Transactions recorded under your vendor's name are called Accounts Payables. While a vendor is someone who you sell a product to and needs to pay, Transactions related to your customers are recorded under Accounts Receivables. 

I'd added topics about managing your vendor's credits, payments, purchase orders, pay an expense, and bills. 

• Expense and Vendors.
• Enter a credit from a vendor.
