Hi there, @FSvanwa.
I appreciate you reaching out to the Community. I can share some insights about creating deposits in QuickBooks.
Deposits are posting transactions, which means that it affects the balances of your accounts. If you don't want this to happen, I advise not creating it yet. You will only enter them once you're sure of its details.
I'm adding here some articles to know more and guide you in creating deposits:
That should keep you going today, FSvanwa. I'm still here to offer more assistance if you have additional questions. Just leave a comment or mention my name. Wishing you all the best!
