Creates a record of checks and other funds (e.g., found money, vendor refunds) deposited into your bank accounts. Amounts recorded in the Cash Receipts Journal to your sweep account are automatically loaded when you click the Auto Fill button.
See NSF Check Processing for tips on handling bad checks.
When Intercompany Processing is enabled, the Bank and Sweep Entities are both required. The Bank Entity controls what Company/Security the deposit is applied to. The Sweep Entity defines the Company/Security the deposit is from. If the Bank and Sweep Entities are different, an automatic Intercompany Processing GL transaction will be generated.
Edits to this journal are never allowed in a closed accounting period. When an unreconciled Bank Deposit Journal entry is accessed, the user is warned if the Accounting Period is closed, and that Reversing entries will take the Effective Date and Accounting period assigned to the new transactions. When the user changes the Effective Date and Accounting Period and saves the entry, the system writes the reversal and forwarding transactions to the current period.
The simultaneous use of the Cash Receipts and Bank Deposit is not allowed to prevent inappropriate changes. The user may be asked to refresh a screen or restart a transaction if needed.
Reconciled Bank Deposit entries may not changed. A Bank Deposit entry must be un-reconciled before it can be adjusted.
The Bank GL Account (in the record parent) and the GL Account on the Other Tab must not match.
A GL 'sweep' (suspense) account should be used with this journal. This account should have the Attribute Bank, and the Category Type Asset. This sweep account must be referenced in the GL Bank Account field of the Cash Receipts Journal.
Work Order COD Entries
The Bank Deposits Journal reads cash receipts that are generated from the COD tab within the Work Order as of this build . The GL Account referenced on the COD tab of the Work Order should be the sweep account.
Since multiple GL accounts are present in the ‘parent’ table of this journal, simple range filters (where you simply enter the GL Account Id) do not work for these "encapsulated" fields. To enable the user to filter on a specific parent GL Account, special filter ranges with the necessary SQL to filter on a specific GL Account have been added to the range filter. For example, when you first access the Range screen, the GL Bank Account range will be completed as follows:
GL Bank Account Id:
sql= gl_bnk_glaccnt_rn in (select glaccnt_rn from glaccnt where glaccnt_id like '%')
Suppose that your firm uses more then one Bank Account. To filter Entries for a specific GL Bank Account, simply replace the % in the SQL statement with the GL Bank Account Id you wish to filter on. For example, to filter on the GL Bank Account Id 1005, simply change the SQL statement in the range to:
sql= gl_bnk_glaccnt_rn in (select glaccnt_rn from glaccnt where glaccnt_id like '1005')
Tip: Saving Ranges
Rather than adjust the SQL statement each time you use the filter, you may save your settings as a range. See Save Filter Range for details.
