HOW DO i DELETE OR EDIT AN INCORRECT DEPOSIT AMOUNT?

Hey there, @Bed,

 

I appreciate your time visiting us today. Let me help you delete your deposit.

 

You'll normally get an alert when modifying a deposit that's already linked to your bank or invoice. To correct this, we'll need to undeposit the transaction first before editing or deleting it.

 

Let me guide you how to do that:

  1. Go to the Reports tab.
  2. In the Search field, look for Deposit Detail.
  3. Update the date to show the deposits you'd like to modify.
  4. Click the Run report button.
  5. Click the amount in the Amount column.
  6. Click the customer name in the Received From column.
  7. On the transaction, click the deposit date below the customer name.
  8. In the Bank Deposit window, uncheck the customer name.
  9. Click Save and new.
  10. The amount now will show as a pending deposit in the Bank Deposit screen.
  11. Click the customer name again to open the transaction.
  12. Update the Amount received.
  13. Click Save.


Once done, you can now redeposit the corrected amount and resume your reconciliation.

 

Please let me know how this goes. I'm here to help you anytime.

This procedure does not seem to work. What do you mean by "uncheck the customer name"? I am trying to put in a customer name because right now it says "(Name not specified)". I've been going around in circles trying to correct deposits. I get error messages no matter what I try to do. Surely there is a straightforward way to correct the customer name, which is almost never correct as pulled in by QB Online.

Let me share with you the steps on how you can correct your deposit in QuickBooks, @Poonie.

 

Before that, the "uncheck the customer name" in step no. 8 means that removing the customer name in the RECEIVED FROM column. You can also simply click the name of the customer in this column. Then, press backspace in your keyboard to remove the customer.

 

If you wanted to correct the name of the customer, we can follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Sales and select Customers.
  2. Click the name of the customer and click Edit.
  3. Correct the name of the customer and select Save.

 

Once done, this will automatically update the name of the customer to all transactions that were linked to it. 

 

In addition, you can customize the Deposit Detail report in QuickBooks. This way, it would be for you to review the details of this report. You can also memorize it to save its customized settings. 

 

I'm always here to help if you have any other concerns or questions. Just tag my name in the comment section and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I cannot backspace in the "Received From" field because it takes me to the Sales Receipt. And if I try to change the customer name in the Sales Receipt window I get an error message because the Sales Receipt is linked to the deposit. As I said, going around in circles.

I should also mention there is no Customer Name associated with many of the deposits. So I can't just change the name.

Hi nikki_provost.

 

Instead of following Jen_D's steps, you can simply delete the deposit transaction by clicking More at the bottom and selecting Delete. Then, recreate the deposit with the correct amount. That will do it.

 

Feel free to go back to this thread if you have other questions in mind.
