Question: What is the proper method to have a deposit made up of multiple line items show up as a single lump deposit, not the individual line items on the bank account and for reconciliation?
This feels like a very basic question, but I have tried all the options I can find (Deposits, Register Customer Payments and Cash Receipts Journal), and I cannot figure it out.
My objective is to have the deposit amount that shows on the bank account match an actual deposit so the bank reconciliation process is simpler.
For example, I receive three checks from customers:
Customer A: $250.00
Customer B: $500.00
Customer C: $1,250.00
When I make the actual bank deposit, I deposit $2,000.00. On the bank statement downloaded for reconciliation, it shows $2000.00.
However, every method I try to use results in three deposits showing on the bank account, one for each line item.
What is the method to have the bank account show a single $2,000 deposit made up of the three line items?
