Income Recording

I have a customer who paid Cash, my boss is not wanting to put the actual cash in the bank, but he wants me to mark the invoice paid and show the income as being applied in our books.  How in the world do I do that?

I have quickbooks 18.0 contractor

Good day, @Marahrob.

 

You can use the Undeposited Funds account to temporarily hold customer's payments in QuickBooks. 

 

This way, they will show as income and will be applied to your books. Here's how:

 

  1. Create an invoice. After your customer pays you, record the payment by going to the Customers menu.
  2. Select Receive Payments
  3. Choose Undeposited Funds in the DEPOSIT TO section.
  4. Check the payment you wanted to be deposited and click Save and close.

If you're unable to see the DEPOSIT TO drop-down list, make sure to turn off the Use Undeposited Funds as a default deposit to account first. Simply follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences
  2. Click Payments and go to the Company Preferences menu. 
  3. Uncheck the Use Undeposited Funds as a default deposit to account box.

I've also included this article as an additional reference to know more about this account: What’s the Undeposited Funds account?
