   If you have any other questions, I'm just a post away. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for your reply. I do have an accountant, but was hoping someone could help with this one situation so I would avoid reaching out to them for what could be a quick fix.

I'm here to ensure you can post vendor payment, including financial penalty takeback in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company, mdiamond6.

Based on the samples you illustrated, you can record a bank deposit to track the payment you received from the agency. Before you do so, I recommend seeking guidance from your accountant to obtain additional insights on this matter and to receive recommendations specifically suited to your business needs.

To make a bank deposit, here's how:

1. Go to Banking and select Make Deposits.
2. Close the Payments to Deposit window to enter the deposit transactions manually.
3. In the Make Deposits window, select the account you want to put the deposit into from the Deposit To dropdown.
4. Under the Received From column, choose the customer names and input all other data needed, like From Account, Memo, and Amount (negative penalty takeback amounts for Customer B and Customer C).
5. Make sure the Deposit Total is correct (558.27)
6. Click Save & Close once done. 

Moreover, there are different ways you can track customer transactions in QBDT. To know these workflows, check out this article: Customer transaction workflows in QuickBooks Desktop.

Stay in touch with me if there's anything else I can help you in recording the payment you received from your vendor. I'll be right here to provide the information you require.
