How to edit the name on a deposit

You can edit or update the name on a deposit depending on how the deposit was recorded.

To determine whether you can edit the name on a deposit, open the Bank Deposit screen.

• If the deposit is listed in the Add other funds to this deposit section, editing the name is simple. Locate and open the deposit, change the name in the Name field, and select Save.
• If the deposit is listed in the Select the payments included in this deposit section, you can't update it directly. You have to find and delete the original deposit, update the name on the original payment, and then recreate the deposit with the updated name.
