We use a back office software that imports our store deposits into QB. A store manager did not deposit the funds into the bank account due to theft.
We have an account for long/short for each store, but I don't know how to reverse the deposit to reflect a shortage, and reconcile the bank statement.
Hello there, @ExoticBengal.
In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), deposits can be removed using the Make Deposits window. When removing the deposit the payment will be removed as well if you are using an Undeposited Funds account. If you plan to deposit the funds at a later time, you can recreate the original payment. However, if you're not using the Undeposited Funds account and plan to make the deposit later, you can leave the original payment for the deposit intact. Otherwise, make sure to manually delete the payment as well.
Here's how:
For the Undeposited funds:

Thank you, but that is not what I am trying to accomplish. I know how to delete a deposit, but I need to record this deposit as "Employee Theft."
Our back office software automatically imports the daily books from our store locations. The manager entered the deposit that she was supposed to take to the bank. She did NOT deposit the funds. She stole the money and quit, so the funds will never be deposited. I need to show the deposit (actually several deposits) that were imported to QB as Employee Theft. How do I do that? Journal Entry? (Most likely not) or do I just edit the general journal from the import to change the bank account to the Employee Theft account?
Thank you for getting back to us and for clearing that out, @ExoticBengal.
Yes, you can enter this as Journal Entry. Still, I suggest reaching out to an accountant or tax advisor to make sure to use the correct accounts to record it correctly.
To add a journal entry:
