Bank Deposits

Form ID: (CA305000)

You use this form to create new deposits, and to select existing deposits and view or edit their information. Only payments recorded to clearing accounts associated with a bank account can be included in a deposit. On this form, you also can void deposits and view voided deposits.

If the check box is cleared, the charge amount is deducted from the batch amount.

This tab contains the list of charges that have been applied to the deposit. The table is populated with automatic charges that have been configured for the clearing account and you can manually add rows for additional charges that are applied to the deposit.

The table toolbar includes only standard buttons. For the list of standard buttons, see Table Toolbar.

Column Description
Charge The entry type of the bank charge that has been applied to the deposit. The entry types for bank charges can be configured on the Entry Types (CA203000) form.
Payment Method

The payment method of the deposited payment to which this charge should be applied. If a value is specified in this column for the charge, the charge is applied automatically to all AR and AP payments with this payment method selected. If this column is empty, the charge is applied to AR payments, AP payments, and cash transactions.

The system applies the following rules to the values in the Payment Method column:

  • Multiple rows can have a payment method specified in this column, but the same payment method cannot be specified in more than one row.
  • If there are two or more rows with charges, and one of the rows has any payment method specified in this column, the other rows should not have a value in this column.
  • For automatic charges for which the system adds rows to the table, an automatic charge with a payment method specified is applied to all payments that have the same payment method. An automatic charge without a payment method is applied to cash transactions and to payments with other payment methods.

For details on configuring automatic charges, see To Specify Charge Rates for a Clearing Account.
