What account should a check received from a vendor for consulting be posted to? I have the check added to the components of the invoice that it came from.

I appreciate you for providing complete information above to clarify the issue, @eganders.

Let me help ensure you're able to apply your deposits to make sure your books are accurate.

Before we start, I'd like to verify if you add the deposit instead of matching them to the actual payment? If so, this process will create duplicate entries in the register. To resolve the duplicate amount, you can undo the added deposit and match it to the correct invoice payment.

To undo the added bank transaction, here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu.
2. Select the blue tile for the account you want to review.
3. Click the Reviewed tab.
4. Find the transaction you want to undo.
5. Select Undo from the Action column. 

Once done, the transaction will go back to the For Review tab. From there, let's match it with the transaction you've already entered in QuickBooks so there aren't any duplicates.

1. Select the transaction to expand the view. 
2. Review the Records found.
3. Select the link next to each record to get more details.
4. Review the Deposit to field on the forms. 
5. Click Match when you're done.

In case you want to review your accounts in QuickBooks to make sure they match your bank statements, kindly refer to this article for the detailed steps: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online. It also contains information on how you can edit your completed reconciliations.

Please let me know if you have other concerns. I'm just around to help.

I appreciate the screenshots and detailed information you've provided, eganders. 

It looks like that we already added the payment from our bank feeds to the bank's register. These payments are now available credits to your customers since we changed the account to Accounts Receivable (A/R). Instead of undoing the process for us to match it to the invoices, we can receive a payment. From there, we can link the invoice and payment. 

I'll show you how:

1. From the + New button click Receive Payment. 
2. Select the Customer and Payment date. 
3. Check all applicable Invoices under the Outstanding Transactions. 
4. Under the Credit section, select the Deposit or Unapplied Payment. 
5. Click Save and close. 

Please do the same process to the other customers. Once done, we can review our Profit and Loss report again if the Unapplied Cash Payment Income is already cleared out. 

Feel free to get back to me if you need anything else. Thanks!
