Deposit

The Deposit form is the means by which you carry out the transfer of receipted payments to your bank. After a cash or cheque Receipt has been entered for a payment from a Customer, it is usually placed into a “cash on hand” account which will then be deposited into a bank or other account at a later stage using the Deposit form.

A Deposit transfers the entire amount of each Receipt specified from the account into which it was receipted into the account nominated on the Deposit form.

The account into which Receipts are deposited does not have to be a physical bank account.

You cannot specify the same Receipt more than once on the one Deposit.

You cannot specify a Receipt on a Deposit if that Receipt exists on another Deposit.

A Deposit is referenced throughout the system by its Deposit # .

  1. Any lines that are displayed as invalid are ignored.
  2. A Journal transaction is created for every valid Receipt line on the Deposit that Debits the Allocation account and Credits the account into which the Receipt was originally placed (specified on the Receipt form) by the total amount of the receipt. For example, this would usually increase the money in the bank (or decrease your overdraft) and decrease the cash on hand total.
  3. The Deposit number of any Receipt that exists in the Deposit lines is updated to be the current Deposit number.
  • You may have multiple Receipts on a single Deposit, and they don’t have to be from the same Debtor.
  • The Deposit number is stored as a reference on each of the Receipt records contained within it.

This number uniquely identifies a Deposit. The Deposit # is automatically generated by the system after the first update and cannot be changed for the life of the Deposit.

If a Deposit is deleted, its Deposit # will never be used again for another deposit.

This is the date on which the Deposit occurred (or on which it was deemed to have occurred). It can be any valid date that is within the current Extended financial year providing the date is not before the Journal lock date.

Reference: Text, Read-only

The first line is the Drawer or name that appears in the Payment details of the specified Receipt. The second line is the name of the Customer for whom the Receipt was entered. If the Receipt did not specify a Customer (just an Account code), this line will show Non customer: Account code ‘xxx’, where xxx is the account code on the Receipt.
