Entering Cash and Credit Card Receipts from a Cash Register (Deposits)

You may do a mix of sales that includes credit card, cash, and check payments into a cash register from non-Receivables customers. The Tutorial, Configure Cash Receipts Journal, shows you how to create a cash receipts journal that you use to deposit cash register receipts. Now we’ll show you how to use the journal.

Select Arnold Plumbing for the company. We’ll use the company you created to show you how to use the cash receipts journal you worked with in the Setup tutorial.

Run Bank Accounts/Deposits.

Select the Checking Account in the Batch Options window and click OK.

Select Cash/Cr Crd Receipts at Receipt type. This is the cash receipts journal that was set up with Bank Accounts/Configure/Cash Receipts Journal.
