Hi 121vk 

 

Generally speaking, Prepare Bank Deposits would be used for deposits into the bank account and Prepare Electronic Payments will be used for withdrawals of the bank account. 

 

Just testing supplier payments in AccountRight 2019.2, in theory, these can be processed through to the Prepare Bank Deposits window by selecting the Bank Account for Undeposited funds* as the Pay from Account in the Pay Bills window. This will place the transactions into the Prepare Bank Deposit window so you can tick the associated transactions to process to the bank account.

 

Note: Payroll transactions shouldn't be processed through Prepare Bank Deposit.

Hi Steven I found this thread that seems to be relevant to my problem, I hope you don't mind me jutting in!
I am using version 2019.4. We paid an employee cash, instead of by the usual method of eft. I ticked the "cash" box in the payroll system which allocated the payment to Undeposited Funds. I then processed that with "prepare bank deposit" and it hit the bank account as expected.
That transaction however doesn't seem to be able to be cleared from the Undeposited Funds screen. I have tried reversing the transaction and re-entering it and it just leaves us with more entries that won't clear, even after processing the bank deposit.
I see in your reply here that you shouldn't process payroll transactions via undeposited funds, clearly I wish I saw that before doing it, but given that it is an allowed option, what is the issue and what can I do to clear the transaction that has been processed from the "prepare bank deposit" screen?
Thanks! Cheers Cath
