Why are my checks offset by deposit in register?

Let me share some details on what are the possible reasons why each check has an offset deposit in the register when reconciling them in the register, tcfs21073.

It could be the checks were linked to a deposit where the affected account is Account Payable (A/P). Then, there's a balance or credit and the only way to offset the balance is to create a deposit and link it. All transactions must be connected to avoid doubling your deposits. The payment is linked to the bank deposit, and the bank deposit is linked or matched to the downloaded transaction. Remember that you can always delete and recreate a manually entered payment and bank deposit transaction if you notice that the numbers are not adding up.

We can also review the past bank deposits. Here' show:

1. Go to Reports (Take me there).
2. Scroll down to the Sales and Customers section.
3. Choose the Deposit Detail report.

The report lists all your completed bank deposits and click the individual deposits to get more details.
