Reconciling my EFTPOS clearing account/EFTPOS settlements
We have setup a bank account called EFTPOS clearing account as we have our own business EFTPOS machine that take credit card payments.
I am in the process of trying to reconcile but have found when a payment is received directly from a customer for a Sales invoice (i.e account customer that we bill) via credit card with our business EFTPOS machine.
When trying to reconcile this account I am stumped at how to reconcile correctly as when one of our customers pays by credit card, I allocate the payment to the clearing account but it is putting the balance out for me to balance my EFTPOS settlement statement
For example:-
All EFTPOS transactions/settlements received go in as a withdrawal into this account but on the 7/7/25 our EFTPOS settlement was made up of 1 x customer paying via credit card $2561.28 and the other one off customers for that day totalled $723.07 (screenshot)
So my balance as at the end of July 25 should balance as per statement of $8401.83
I have also attached a copy of our EFTPOS settlement report for reference.
Should I be raising a journal entry to get this to balance? or handling the sales invoices credit card payments to an undeposited funds account?
Thank you
