I have had this entry ($800.)  showing in on the Balance Sheet for months as undeposited funds. I know the company paid an employee for some tools.  The employee endorsed the check and the boss gave him cash.  Found the paper check in the boss' desk.  A friend was told to make a journal entry to debit cash and credit undeposited funds until the CPA told me what to do.  People have changed and I got bad advise. 

What can I do to clear this up?

The only things that belong in undeposited funds are Payments received from customers.  These are either Sales Receipts or Payments against Invoices previously issued.

 

In this case I think the transaction should be deleted and then, when you decide to deposit it, record that deposit as a Deposit type transaction entering the check directly as a line item on the deposit.

Thank you for your response.

We do not use the customer side of QB.  I'll know from now on not to use that account.
