How to Deposit Credit Card Payments Transferred from QuickBooks Point of Sale to Undeposited Funds in QuickBooks

Hi Ruth. At the end of the day, the credit card sales for the day transfer over from QuickBooks POS to QuickBooks Financials, and are put in the “Payments to Deposit” screen under the Home Page Icon that reads “RECORD DEPOSITS”. When I first began QuickBooks POS, my QuickBooks advisor indicated that these items are posted to the check register each month when I reconcile the bank statement. I am supposed to reconcile these transactions against the statement and then send them over to the register. This does not make sense to me, as if I have to wait to the end of each month when we reconcile statements (or the middle of a new month when I receive the statement for the previous month), then the check register is constantly out of balance because it is not reflecting the current credit and debit card transactions. Do most people transfer this info over daily?

Also, it is very hard to compare these totals with our bank statement, as the totals we receive can be several days worth of credit card transactions, with no distinction between visa, mc or amex. I do know that debits come over separately, This creates an inordinate amount of extra work trying to match up the credit card undeposited funds with what comes in on my bank statement. Any advice and instruction is appreciated! Thank you!

Most people make their deposits more often than once a month. Personally, I make my deposits each morning after checking online to see what actually deposited.

The payment type is one of the columns on the Payments to Deposit screen. It makes it a little easier if you change View payment method type to American Express (deposits alone) or Mastercard/Visa/Discover (deposits together).

    Hi Ruth,
    We have Quickbooks POS and our credit card deposits are mapped to undeposited funds at end of day z-store close. Unfortunately, when exchanging data to QB, these deposits are automatically deposited to the check register vs undeposited funds or funds for deposit which makes it very difficult to reconcile merchant deposits each month. Any suggestions?

    Best,
    Shelly Conallis

    • Hi Shelly,

      Go to Company Preferences > Financial > Accounts, select the Advanced tab, and make sure Credit Card is mapped to Undeposited Funds.

        Ok. Probably should have told you I’ve already done that. It’s mapped, but not going there. Is there something I need to check in QB vs QB POS?

        Shelly

        • Hmmm, try checking your Payment preferences in QuickBooks to make sure “Use Undeposited Funds as a default deposit to account” is checked (Edit > Preferences > Payments > Company Preferences).
