Bank deposit and bank feed

Hello there, @Kirthana_RAD. 

It's an honor for me to answer your concern about how you record donations in QuickBooks. 

To give you insights, you can record donations as a bank deposit, sales receipt, or an invoice for a non-profit business. 

First off, you'll need to create a revenue account to track the funds you received from donors rather than depositing it into the Undeposited Funds account. Here's how: 

1. Go to the Settings menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Click New to create a new account.
3. In the Account Type dropdown, choose an account type.
4. In the Detail Type dropdown, select Non-Profit Income. 
5. Enter a name for your account such as "Fund donations". 
6. Select Save and Close.

Once done, you'll need to create a fund donation item on your product and service items page. I'd suggest you select the non-inventory part since your only receive money. Check out this article for more detailed steps: Add product and service items to QuickBooks Online.

Then, you're ready to track the fund donation as a bank deposit, sales receipt, or an invoice. See Step 5: Track the fund donation outlined in this help article: Track funds you receive from donors in QuickBooks Online.

Just in case, you can also read through this article for future reference: Set up and record in-kind donations. It helps you learn about recording donations for your business in QuickBooks Online.

Thank you! 

I think I got that, but I was wondering, after doing that, what is the best way to register a deposit from the bank of more than one check. 

So, for example, QBO downloads from the bank a deposit of 100 $, which was made of 3 checks, 30$, 20$, 50$ (anyway it only shows as 1 of 100$ in the bank). What is the best way to proceed with QBO? Should I create a sale receipt, then a deposit? Or just a deposit?

Thank you!

Thank you for the details, Kirthana_RAD! I'll continue to help.

You are doing the right thing. You can continue recording individual donations as a sales receipt and create a bank deposit for the total amount. That deposit then becomes the matching entry to your downloaded transaction. This will work.

See information about matching bank transactions.
