Join nowI volunteer to reconciled an organization's monthly bank account. Their bank is linked to QBO. When they receive a check/donation, an employee will enter them into QBO as a sales receipt, linked to "Undeposited Funds." Then when I go to reconcile, all the transactions are sitting in "Undeposited Funds." I then would go into the "Banking" function, I see a match for that sales receipt to the bank feed. When I match it, does it automatically create a deposit? Is skipping the "bank deposit" step okay if I'm already matching in the bank register? Or do I still need to do a "Bank Deposit" and then go into banking to match the feed? Please keep in mind, my volunteer task is on a monthly basis, and they've been sitting in undeposited funds so the banking balance in QBO is already out of date.

Hello, Woody0930.
Nice of you to volunteer for an organization! I can share important details on what happens if you skip the bank deposit step.
Yes, you can skip the bank deposit step. When you match the sales receipt from the Undeposited Funds with a downloaded bank transaction, it will automatically create a deposit. It won't duplicate your records.
Though, you can also do the bank deposit step. Both will yield the same result. The sales receipt will match and the funds will be moved to the bank account in the Chart of Accounts.
The only difference is that when you skip the bank deposit step, the funds will be removed from the bank account if you undo the matching process. Here's a visual guide on what will happen:
In case you want to do the bank deposit step:
