Record joint payments
If you have a situation where a customer pays an invoice plus that of another customer, you can receive the payment by following these steps:
-
Select the Plus icon (+) on the Toolbar, then select Receive Payment.
- Enter the name of the customer
- Enter the Amount, Payment method, and the Reference no. (Note: Make sure you note the check number in the Reference no.)
- Make an entry in the Memo field that this payment is included in the check with (other customer's name).
- Make sure that the correct invoice is checked. You can uncheck the wrong invoice then manually check the correct one, if necessary.
- You can either deposit the money to your checking account or to the Undeposited funds
-
Select Save and Close.
Repeat the steps for the second customer. Make sure that the check number is the same and that you enter a descriptive memo. Next, group the payments so that they show as one deposit on the register:
-
Select the Plus icon (+) on the Toolbar then Bank Deposit.
- From the Select payments included in this deposit section, mark all payments you want to be grouped together with a check. (Note: This section only appears if there are recorded payments ready to be deposited.)
- Make sure the total looks accurate. The total in this case should be the total amount of the joint check.
-
Select Save and Close.
