How to resolve negative entries from Undeposited Funds in QuickBooks Online
by Intuit•18• Updated 3 weeks ago
Sometimes, negative value transactions show up in Undeposited Funds and appear on the Bank Deposit screen (for example, if you issue a customer refund from Undeposited Funds).
Check out QuickBooks Payments rates and apply. Then, you can automatically process payments, deposit funds and record transactions in your books.
You can't deposit a negative value entry by itself. The net deposit must be a value greater than or equal to zero. To resolve issues with negative transactions in Undeposited Funds, make a zero value deposit and record the negative value deposit with it.
