How do I add a deposit that has nothing to do with sales

Hey there eronne53,

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community! Making sure you record your transactions correctly in QuickBooks is an important step in maintaining clean books. I would be happy to point you in the right direction.

To ensure accuracy in your books, I recommend reaching out to an accounting professional for expert advice on creating these types of transactions. They'll be able to guide you in choosing the correct transaction type as well as which accounts to affect so that your accounts can end up with the right balance. You can add your accountant to your books by going to the My Accountant tab of your QuickBooks account. You can also find an accountant that has experience using QuickBooks near you by clicking on the Find a pro to help option in that section.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.

Thank you but the limitation is in the software not in knowing how to code the transaction. I have been using Peachtree for 20 years and it allows for a proper cash receipts journal where all deposits are recorded. I just can't find the facility to input non-customer/sales related deposits in QB on a regular basis.
