bank deposit module

Allow me to answer your question regarding the copy function in the bank deposit and payee names in the Activity report in QuickBooks Desktop, Carol.

Bank deposits include multiple line items from payments or refunds, and each line is linked to specific accounts in your Chart of Accounts. The option to copy transactions while creating a bank deposit is unavailable, as it results in discrepancies in reconciliation and reports. However, you can set it up as a recurring transaction if you frequently record the same deposit. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Banking menu and choose Use Register.
2. Search for and open an existing deposit.
3. Right-click the deposit and tap Memorize Deposit.
4. Select Automate Transaction Entry if you want QuickBooks to record the deposit automatically. Otherwise, select Add to my Reminders List to get a notification to create the deposit.
5. Choose the frequency (monthly, weekly, daily, etc) in the How Often dropdown.
6. Set the start date for the recurring deposits in the Next Date field. The first recurring deposit will start on the first day.
7. Enter how many deposits you want to QuickBooks to create in the Number Remaining field.
8. In the Days In Advance To Enter field, set how many days in advance QuickBooks will record the deposit. Then, enter 0 if you want to record the deposit on the day you choose.
9. When you're done, press OK.

QuickBooks will automatically record the deposit on the date and frequency you select. To learn more about this one, check out this article: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.

Once you created a deposit, the payee name will show in the Name column when running an activity report, such as the Deposit Detail report. Here’s how:

1. Go to Reports on the top menu.
2. Choose Banking.
3. Select Deposit Detail.
4. Choose the date period in the Dates field.

However, if you are referring to showing a payee name as a column in the report, then that option is unavailable. We can export the report to Excel from QuickBooks and modify it to come up with the data you need.
