Does QBO Plus use Undeposited Funds? Do I have to turn Undeposited Funds on or create it? When I Receive Payment and select Deposit To, Undeposited Funds is not listed as an option.

Hi cathy.tipton,

I'm here to help.

The Undeposited Funds account is a default account generated automatically in QuickBooks Online. If you can't find it in your receive payment window, it's possible that the account was renamed. Let's go ahead and check:

  1. Click on the Gear icon in the upper left.
  2. Choose Chart of Accounts.
  3. Find the Undeposited Funds from the Detail Type column (there can only be one undeposited funds in QuickBooks Online).
  4. Once you find it, click the drop-down arrow and select Edit.
  5. Update the name according to your preference.
  6. Click Save and Close once you're done.

Please let me know how it goes, or if you need anything else.

Hello everyone.

 

I'm here to help share some information about the default Undeposited Funds account in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can add the account in QBO by changing the account type to Other Current Assets. Before doing so, make sure first to check if the Undeposited Funds is not in the inactive accounts.

 

Here's how to check your inactive accounts:

  1. Go to the Accounting tab and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click the Gear icon on the right corner and check the Include inactive box. 
  3. Locate the Undeposited Funds account on the Detail Type column. If it's included in the inactive account, click the Make active option on the Action column.
  4. Once done, there's no need to create a new Undeposited Funds account.
  5. If the Undeposited Funds is still missing from the options, create a new one.

 

 

Here's how to create a new account:

  1. Go to the Accounting tab and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click the New tab.
  3. Choose the Other Current Assents as the Account Type.
  4. From the Detail Type drop-down, choose the Undeposited Funds.
  5. Fill in the other details needed, then Save and Close.

 

 

 

Let me know how it goes. You can always contact our Online Care Support if ever you need assistance in going through with the steps.

I have tried this.  Here's the message I get

You cannot change the detail type of an account to be Undeposited Funds or change an Undeposited Funds detail type account to be another detail type.

There is an undeposited funds account, but it has incorrect detail and is not showing up in the deposit list when a deposit is made!

Hello there, @amyhaas.

 

Thank you for posting in the Community.  I'd be happy to help get this taken care of today.

 

Your browser's cache might be causing that message. A typical browser uses a cache of memory to work efficiently and load pages faster, but as data collects it can cause unexpected results.

 

To start, let's try using a private browser to isolate the issue. The steps vary per browser used:

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N 
  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Internet Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: press Command + Shift + N

If you're able to create a new Undeposited Funds account using the private browsing mode, you can switch back to the regular browser (Ctrl N) then clear your browser's cache.

 

Here's an article to help you clear the cache: How do I clear the temporary Internet files and cache?

 

If you get the same result, I recommend calling our Phone Support. They can initiate a screen sharing session to help you get to a resolution quickly.

 

Please get in touch with me if you have any other questions about Undeposited Funds missing from the Deposit screen. I'm here to help you sort things out.

Hi Primaveri13,

 

The sequence of the deposits is based on dates. Please verify the date of the deposit is correct. If it is, you can run the Verify utility to check if this is a data issue. Then, run the Rebuild utility to fix it. You can refer to this article: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Let us know if you need more help.

The Undeposited Funds accounts is set to a Bank account. We can deposit to Undeposited Funds but no deposits appear in the window when making a deposit. I tried to change the type from Bank Account to Current Assets but got an error message. What are the steps to get Undeposited Funds to work correctly? Thanks!

If you checked all Detail Types in your chart of accounts and did not find Undeposited Funds type, you need to add it.  Go to Chart of Accounts, add New, pick Other Current Assets, pick Undeposited Funds. Save and Close.
