Make A Deposit in QuickBooks without An Invoice

The payment deposited in the bank and that too without an invoice is generally not sales. This is some kind of immediate gain that you want to account for and you paid nothing in return. In the same context, here is the query recently raised by one of our clients.

Here is how he described his issue:

“Hi, we have received a payment that is over and above the sales value of our product. How can we record them within Quickbooks.”

Here the item wasn’t worth enough, but since the cash received would now need to be accounted thus here is what you will do…!

Under the Receive payment option, enter the amount that you have received in your bank. If the money hasn’t been deposited already then pass an entry under undeposited funds.
If you will be refunding the payment to the customer then make use of Accounts receivables. Debit the AR and Credit the Customer.
