- Make a Deposit
-
- ÀáSelecting a Checking AccountÀá
-
- In the upper left of the Make a Deposit window is a pop-up menu containing all
-
- accounts with checking privileges. If you do not see your checking account in the
-
- list, choose Chart of Accounts from the General Ledger command center and assign
-
- checking privileges to the account.
-
-
-
- ÀáBalanceÀá
-
- Balance is the current balance of the selected checking account. Click the arrow
-
- to zoom to the Inquiry—Search by Account window. See Changing, Deleting, or
-
- Reversing a Deposit (How Do I...? in Chapter 3 of your User's Guide)
-
- for instructions on correcting a mistaken entry.
-
-
-
- ÀáID NumberÀá
-
- The ID Number helps you to identify this deposit in the Cash Receipts Journal,
-
- Search by Account display and reconciliation. M.Y.O.B. provides a default ID
-
- number; feel free to change it.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá If you group multiple M.Y.O.B. deposit transactions on a single bank
-
- deposit slip, use the same ID number for the M.Y.O.B. deposits. If your bank does
-
- not itemize deposits on your statement, having the same ID number makes
-
- reconciliation easier.
-
-
-
- ÀáDateÀá
-
- All deposits are sorted by date. You may not enter a date prior to the conversion
-
- date or in a prior fiscal year. If you enter a future date, M.Y.O.B. accepts it, but
-
- only after warning you that the date is probably in error.
-
-
-
- See Dates in Chapter 1—Using M.Y.O.B.
-
-
-
- ÀáAmountÀá
-
- Enter the amount of the deposit. See Dollar Amounts in Chapter 1—Using
-
- M.Y.O.B.
-
-
-
- The checking account is debited (increased) by the amount of the deposit. If you
-
- enter a negative deposit amount, the account is credited.
-
-
-
- ÀáPayorÀá
-
- The small card file icon means that you may (optionally) link this deposit to an
-
- entry in your card file. If you do not want to link to a card, simply press Tab.
-
-
-
- You should consider linking this deposit to a card. In addition to including this
-
- deposit with all the other transactions for this account, M.Y.O.B. cross references
-
- it by card. You’ll be able to use the Inquiry—Search by Card window to access and
-
- report on all transactions by selected card.
-
-
-
- To select a card, type the first few characters of the person’s last name. If it’s a
-
- company, type a few characters of the company’s name. Press Tab. If you
-
- type a unique match, the card is selected and you are taken to the memo field. If
-
- you type a non-unique match your card file is displayed (See Selecting From a
-
- Search List in Chapter 1). Alternatively, you may click the card file icon or
-
- press Command-L.
-
-
-
- ÀáMemoÀá
-
- Enter whatever you’d like. Memos can be up to 255 characters, but because of
-
- report display limitations, it is most useful to limit your memos to 40 or 50
-
- characters.
-
-
-
- ÀáAllocation AccountsÀá
-
- To balance the transaction, you must allocate the deposit amount to the proper
-
- (usually income) accounts. Since the deposit amount is a debit, the allocation
-
- amounts are considered credits. (If you enter a negative allocation amount, it
-
- becomes a debit.)
-
-
-
- Select the first allocation account (See Selecting From a Search List in Chapter
-
- 3). The allocation amount defaults to whatever is needed to balance the
-
- transaction. If this is the only allocation, click Record (or press Enter).
-
- If you’re allocating to more than one account, change the displayed amount,
-
- press Tab and continue the allocation process.
-
-
-
- ÀáJobÀá
-
- If the allocation account is an income, expense, cost of sales, other income or
-
- other expense account, you can assign the amount to a job (see Jobs List in
-
- Chapter 8—Administration). Type the job number and press Tab. If you are
-
- unsure of the job number, press Command-L to see the job list. Select a job
-
- from the job list or click New Job to create a new one.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá If you need to assign an amount from a single allocation account to more
-
- than one job, enter the allocation account more than once. Say, for example, you
-
- have $100 of Widget Income and you need to assign $30 to job 12 and $70 to job
-
- 43. Allocate to Widget Income twice, once for $30 and again for $70.
-
-
-
- ÀáRecurring Deposit TransactionsÀá
-
- Instructions for saving, using and editing recurring deposit transactions can be
-
- found under the Help topic, 'Recurring Deposit Transactions,' or in Chapter 3
-
- of your User's Guide.
-
-
-
- ÀáRecordÀá
-
- Total allocations must equal the deposit amount before you can record the
-
- deposit.
