How to record mobile deposits for best syncing with downloaded QBO in QB for Windows?

I have the information you need when recording bank deposits in QuickBooks, @Von G.

Recording business activities are based on supporting documentation, depending on the accounting principles the company implements.

When making a deposit entry in QuickBooks Desktop, you’ll want to make sure details are accurate in the deposit slip/bank statement from your bank. That means the date period stated on the statement should be the same when you’re creating a deposit in the program. You can use your deposit slip as a reference. Let me outlined the steps for you:

1. On the Homepage, select Record Deposits / Make Deposits.
2. In the Payments to Deposit window, select the payments you want to combine. Then select OK.
3. Select the account you want to put the deposit into from the Deposit to dropdown.
4. Check the deposit total. Make sure the account and selected payments match the deposit slip from your bank.
5. Enter the date you made the deposit at your bank.
6. Add a memo as needed.
7. Press Save & Close.

You can check this reference for detailed instructions about making bank deposits in QBDT. It also includes steps to record recurring transactions.

Let me know if you have additional questions about recording deposits in QuickBooks. I’ll be around to help. Have a good one.

Your answer is conflicting or confusing at best.

1. Your instructions are for QB Online, not for QB for Windows ((Desktop). 

2. You use the words "Deposit Slip" and "Bank Statement" interchangeably, and these are two totally different things.  A Deposit Slip, is the physical receipt the teller gives you get when you physically go to the bank and make deposits in person.  A Bank Statement is the document that the bank sends you at the end of the month.

3. In your answer, you say this, which is utterly confusing.

"make sure details are accurate in the deposit slip (bank statement) from your bank." 

To make matters more confusing, you say:

That means the date period stated on the statement should be the same when you’re creating a deposit in the program. 

And then go on to say this, which is the opposite of what you just said above.

"Enter the date you made the deposit at your bank."

 So, in one place, you say the date of the deposit in QB should match the date on the bank statement, and in the other, you say it should match the date on the Deposit Slip, which is not the same date as what is on the Bank Statement.  

It seems to me that you are more confused about this question than I am, and now I am more confused as to what to do.

Sorry, but I don't think you know what the question is or even what you are talking about.  Are you speaking English as a second language?

Hello Von G. Allow me to join the thread and provide additional information when making a bank deposit. 

You'll need to use the date when the transaction is posted on your bank account since reconciliation starts from the Bank statement. For steps in creating a bank deposit, you can follow the information provided by my colleague above. You may also see this article for more details: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.

Once you're ready to reconcile, you can check out this link for guidance: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.

As always, I'm just a few clicks away if you should have questions or need anything. Have a good one.
