1. To deposit the receipt now, mark Deposit to account, and select the account that will receive the funds. Otherwise mark the Group with undeposited funds options; you can create a bank deposit for the funds later, using the Prepare Bank Deposit window.
2. Review the transaction date and change it if necessary.
3. In the Payor field, enter the name of the person or company that provided the funds. (This is optional.)
4. In the Amount field, enter the amount being paid.
5. If you wish, you can specify the payment method that was used. This is especially helpful if you've selected the Group with Undeposited Funds option. When you create your bank deposits, you can select receipts according the payment method entered here.
6. In the scrolling list in the middle of the window, allocate the receipt to the proper allocation account(s). (More information about entering line items for cash receipts
