QBS payment methods to work with basic deposits or reports

We can only run a report that shows a deposit with the payment method, @franklin. I've got a workaround to share with you so you can still get the data you need.

When pulling up a report, the deposit and payment method appear together. This means we're unable to identify which ones are unassociated with your invoices. Also, there's no option that allows us to separate them when customizing it.

You might consider adding a memo to your deposits. This way, you can easily recognize which deposits aren't linked to invoices. See this screenshot below for your reference:

I do agree with you that adding more customizations to a report would make the program more flexible. This way, you’ll be able to add the necessary columns for your data. You'll want to send feedback to our Product Developer so they can review and consider adding this feature in the future.

Here's how:

If you want to create a report that shows selected transactions as well as other transactions to which they are linked, such as an invoice and its payment, see this article: Use Check or Deposit Detail Reports to show transaction links and mimic Cash Receipt Report.

RE: Can we create a deposit report that shows the payment method that is not associated with an invoice?

Yes.  A Journal report filtered for Deposits will show the payment method for each line item on a Deposit:

It looks like the Deposit Detail report will as well, if you add the Pay Meth column, and also the generic Transaction Detail report.

That's interesting, but it's not at all what the customer asked for, so sort of a mute point and unhelpful.

It should be so simple.  

It's hard to tell what your screenshots are of, but it looks like the first one is of the deposit form when you entered Credit Card, and the other is a report.

Given that the Amount is positive on the report, I suspect that you're looking at the deposit total row that uses the bank account. That row doesn't have a payment method. Instead the detail rows of the deposit each have a payment method, as shown in the image on my first answer on this thread.

To see the payment method(s) recorded on each deposit, create or use a report that includes the details, such as a Journal report or a Deposit Detail report.

Tried all the detail reports suggested by others and QBs report center.  It works if there is an invoice associated otherwise it gives and empty cell.

The first snip is the deposit entry where I provided the payment method, and the second is the report.  The payment method does not transcend to the report I printed.

RE: It works if there is an invoice associated otherwise it gives and empty cell.

Generally Invoices don't have payment methods. Customer Payment transactions applied to the invoices do have payment methods. Is that what you're referring to?

The only exception is if you use a Payment type item on the face of the Invoice, and that item has a payment method, and the item uses your bank account directly. All of that is somewhat rare.

We do not have invoices associated with these deposits.

Point blank, whatever I enter into the deposit field pmt method does not transcend to any report so therefore, there is no answer to my issue because it doesn't exist.

I love QBs.

THANK YOU for your response.
