Deposit types

Deposit types allow you to group deposits to facilitate bank reconciliation. For instance, you could create deposit types that match the categories on your bank statement, such as "Cash and Checks" and "Bank Credit Cards".

Deposit types contribute the GL batch and bank account to all receipts in deposits of their type.

Typical deposit types include cash/checks, MC/Visa, AMEX, lock box, and PayPal.

AR deposit expression keywords

The lists below shows keywords which can be used in deposit expressions. Deposit expressions can be used to define the deposit reference and deposit description on deposit types.

Deposit information

  • <Receipt Count>
  • <Deposit Name>
  • <Deposit Type>
  • <Deposit Date>
  • <Deposit Instance>

Example

For a multi-receipt deposit, consider these expressions:

  • Reference Expression: <Receipt Count> Receipt(s)
  • Description Expression: <Deposit Name>

Receipt and customer information

The following keywords are only valid when you specify "one receipt per deposit". Do not use these keywords on multi-receipt deposit types.

  • <Receipt Reference>
  • <Receipt Description>
  • <Customer Code>
  • <Customer Name>

Example

Suppose you have a deposit type set up to handle American Express credit card receipts. Since this type of receipt allows only one receipt per deposit, you can use the receipt and customer information keywords. Let's build a reference which contains the credit card machine's ID number (78) and the "batch out" number. The "batch out" number is stored in the Receipt Reference. Because you are using different AR customers to group these charges, you want to show the customer name in the deposit description. These expressions do the trick:

  • Reference Expression: 78 - <Receipt Reference>
  • Description Expression: <Customer Name>
