Banking

I know this is an old post but I am commenting in case anyone else has this issue and comes across this post. It took a while for me to find an answer.

 

I found a response on another post on how to deposit a check that was written from Bank A and then deposited in Bank B. 

 

Here is the direct link, but I am posting the transcript below- 

 
 

 


Based on the details provided, we’ll have to create a clearing account. This way, you can easily put the funds from PNC to BOA. This allows you to transfer the money if you’re unable to directly move it.


To add the clearing account:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu at the top to select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click the Account drop-down located at the bottom of the page and choose New.
  3. In the Add New Account window, tick the radio-button for Bank and hit Continue.
  4. Type enter Clearing Account, Barter Account, or Wash Account in the Account Name field
  5. Make sure not to enter an opening balance.
  6. Press Save & Close.

 

The following information provides an overview of why we'll have to create a bank account.

 

  • You can pay into a bank account via Receive Payments or Make Deposits.
  • You can payout of a bank account via Write Checks or Pay Bills.
  • A bank account appears on the balance sheet and on the statement of cash flows to balances and changes in balances.
  • To allocate expenses to overhead or class using a zero check, you must use a bank account as your Clearing account.

 

Next, you can start using the newly created account. Follow the recommended steps in this article and go directly to the To use a clearing account section: Set up a clearing account.
