Hello there, @jjzhang. I'd like to impart further insight about the Undeposited Funds account and guide you on how you can put transactions to it in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Yes, you're correct that the Undeposited Funds account is used to hold payments (cash or cheques) that you haven't been deposited yet at your real-life bank.
You only have one Undeposited Funds account in QBO. If your transactions are downloaded from your bank and/or processed with QuickBooks Payments, there's no need to combine, use, or put them in the said account. This is because QuickBooks already has the info from your bank and takes care of the payments for you.
If you create a sales receipt for payments you process outside of QuickBooks, here's what you need to do to put the transaction into the Undeposited Funds account:
For the complete guide on how you can put payments into the Undeposited Funds account, please see this article: Deposit payments into the Undeposited Funds account in QuickBooks Online.
Once you're done and ready to make a bank deposit, all your payments from sales transactions in the Undeposited Funds account will automatically appear in the Bank Deposit window. For the detailed steps in depositing money at the bank, you can refer to this article: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.
Also, I would encourage you to reconcile your accounts in QBO every month. This helps manage your income and expense transactions, detect any possible errors, and make sure they match your real-life bank and credit card statements. You may want to check out this article for the step-by-step guide: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
Let me know in the comments if there's anything else you need or concerns about creating accounts to your chart of accounts in QBO. I'm always ready to help. Take care, and I wish you continued success, @jjzhang.
Not really sure what you're trying to accomplish. If your customer has paid you with a Credit Card, there is no outstanding balance that you would want to set up an account for.
What it sounds like you want to do is set the Customer up and then create and Invoice for whatever they own you. Then when they pay you with their Credit Card you'd show that payment applied to one or more of the invoices you have for them.
If this is something like a "house account" where they pay you at the end of the month. Then simple create a new Invoice every month (I'd date it the last day of the month) and then you just keep adding whatever the Customer is taking on each trip to that Invoice. At the end of the month they pay that invoice with their credit card. At some point you'll create a new Invoice for the next month and the cycle continues.
If it's something else you're trying to do, let us know with some more details.
Hi, Thank you for your quick replies. I would like to setup separate account for each type of credit card that I accept which contains amount owed to me based on credit-card purchases from customers. I'm looking at the detail account, it seems that Current Asset > Undeposited Funds looks like what i'm looking for. Undeposited Funds is used for cash or cheques from sales that haven’t been deposited yet.
