I am a new bookkeeper for a restaurant that receives deposits from a credit card processing company and POS system. I am reconciling from Jan 2023 to current. How should I categorize these deposits? Would they go under Sales/income? I get that moving forward to have a receivable account where these will go but without information of what the lump deposit is for I have categorized them as "Food & Beverage Sales" and fees are charged from a separate account not taken out of the deposit. Is this going to affect anything or should I go back through all of last year and make these a journal entry with debit/credit entries for each individual deposit?
