Checking Acct

This is the checking account number that will be associated with the entry. You can click the Search button or hit the F5 key to bring up the Checking Account search screen, and from there you can pick the checking account you want to use. This field will default to the checking account you assigned as the default checking account in Company Maintenance.

 

Date

The entry date. This field will default to the current date.

 

Reference

The optional entry reference. You can enter up to 35 characters.

 

Amount

The entry amount. Enter a positive amount for a deposit, or a negative amount for a charge. The amount cannot be zero.

 

Distribute to Ledger

If entrée.GL, the General Ledger add-on module is enabled, this control will also be activated. This control allows you to apply deposits and charges to the General Ledger by one of two ways:

 

1. Checking this field will create a Accounts Payable journal posting that will be used to update the balance of the ledger distribution account (see below) with the amount, by releasing Accounts Payable and running the update General Ledger process. This is the normal method of applying deposits and charges to the General Ledger.

 

2. With this field unchecked, no Accounts Payable journal posting will be created, and you will have to manually post a journal entry to General Ledger for the amount.

 

Distribution Acct

If the Distribute to Ledger field is checked you are required to enter an account from General Ledger. In that case, the Search  button or F5 key will bring up the General Ledger Account search screen, and from there you can pick the General Ledger account.

 

Cancel Button

Clicking the "Cancel" button will discard the entry, close the Enter Deposit & Charge window, and return you to the Main Menu.

 

Apply Button

Clicking the "Apply" button will save the entry, and clear the display to allow creation of another entry.
