You will need the Full Write Accounting permission to perform these actions.
Go to Accounting > Entry in the left-hand menu and select "Add New".
With all entries, select the desired account in the Register dropdown. As we are recording a deposit, this will be an Asset account that represents a bank account, investment account, or cash on hand that this transaction accrued within.
How to categorize a general deposit or income.
Select an income account and fund.
For the first dropdown, you will select an income account. This should be representative of how you received the funds. For most organizations, this will be an account that indicates the funds were received from donations to the organization. Example: 4000 - Contributions Income
After the first dropdown has been filled, a second dropdown will populate. This is for the desired fund account the donation should be attributed to.
Enter the amount of the income.
In the amount field, you will enter the amount of the deposit that aligns with the matching categorization. This must be a positive number to increase the balance of the selected account in the register dropdown.
Submit the entry.
If the amounts entered total to a net positive amount, you will see a ✅ Deposit button. Clicking this will create the entry and will reflect on all relevant accounting reports
