Miscellaneous Check between in-house bank accounts

When I write a miscellaneous check from one of our banks to another of our bank accounts it only posts the credit side to the register, not the debit side of the transaction. Consequently my checkbook register doesn't reflect an accurate current balance.

The system is working as designed. Instead of writing a miscellaneous check, use a Bank Transfer.

Go to Transactions>>Financial>>Bank Transfers. In this window, you can transfer money from one bank account to another, and once posted, the transaction will show up in both checkbook registers, as well as your general ledger.

Suzi,

In this case, you would need to use a suspense account for the debit side of the check. Then enter a Bank Receipt for the check in the checkbook where you are depositing the check and use the same suspense account for the credit side. Post the deposit and now you will have the correct entries in Bank Rec in both the accounts.

You may want to run it through a "clearing" account as you can not specify a Checkbook ID for both sides of a check. For the check use the "clearing" account for the debit and then do an Increase Adjustment for the receiving bank crediting the clearing account.
