dumping account record payments but, the actual deposit for these payments show in checking account. How to properly enter this when I do not have breakdown of deposit?

My client has a dumping cash account where they record the received payments; however, the actual deposits for these payments appear in their checking account. How should I properly record these to offset the deposits in the dumping account without duplicating the sales amount when I do not have the breakdown of deposits?

You can create a journal entry (JE) to move the payments from the dumping account to the checking account, Anamarie.

 

This will directly transfer the payments from your dumping account to the checking account even if you don't have the breakdown. I recommend consulting your accountant for guidance before making changes to your account.

 

Here's how to create a JE:

 

  1. Go to +New, then choose Journal entry.
  2. On the first line, enter the dumping cash account, then credit the deposit amount.
  3. On the next line, enter the checking account, then debit the amount to be transferred.
  4. Add a memo as needed.
  5. Hit Save and close.

Moving forward, you'll want to consider using the Undeposited Funds account when receiving payments. This serves as a temporary placeholder to hold the money until you're ready to combine them through a bank deposit.

 

You can also reconcile your accounts to ensure your financial records are accurate.

Obviously, @BabyB didn't understand your question.

 

Have you tried making a transfer (New > Transfer) to move the funds from the dumping account to the checking account?  Each transfer reduces the balance in the dumping account and creates a deposit in the checking account without affecting any other accounts.
