Accounting for Receipts

Each deposit generates one plus (debit) general ledger transaction to the selected bank account for the total of the deposit.

The branch of the offset transaction is the same as the item applied to, or the entered branch for general ledger checks. The offset chart for each individual receipt is as follows. (Unapplied funds, layaway, and gift certificate charts are specified on the System tab of the System Control screen. For details, see System Tab.)

Note: The following tables refer to charts in the Processing Table. For information about how the Processing Table manages the posting of transactions involving invoices to general ledger accounts, see Processing Table Overview.
