Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online

Learn how to combine multiple transactions into a single record so QuickBooks matches your real-life bank deposits.

When you deposit money at the bank, you often deposit multiple payments from sources all at once. The bank usually records everything as a single record with one total. If you enter the same payments as individual records in QuickBooks, they won’t match the way your bank recorded the deposit.

In these cases, QuickBooks has a special way for you to combine transactions so your records match your real-life bank deposit. Here’s how to record bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.

1. Put transactions you need to combine into your Undeposited Funds account. 
2. Then use the bank deposit feature to combine them.

Step 1: Put transactions into the Undeposited Funds account

If you haven’t already, put invoice payments and sales receipts you want to combine into the Undeposited Funds account. This account holds everything before you record a deposit.

Step 2: Combine transactions in QuickBooks with a bank deposit

Each bank deposit creates a separate record in QuickBooks. Make deposits one at a time for each of your deposit slips.

1. Select + New.
2. Select Bank Deposit.
3. From the Account ▼ dropdown, choose the account you want to put the money into.
4. Select the checkbox for each transaction you want to combine.
5. Make sure the total of the selected transactions matches your deposit slip. Use your deposit slip as a reference.
6. Select Save and close or Save and new.
