Banking > Preparing a bank deposit
You can create a bank deposit transaction to record the receipt of multiple customer payments that you want to deposit as a single transaction in your bank account (such as the day’s cheque, credit card, or cash takings).
Before you record a bank deposit, you need to post the payments to a temporary holding account (known as an Undeposited Funds account) until you create a bank deposit. To do this, select the Group with Undeposited Funds option in the Receive Money or Receive Payments windows when you record a payment.
note : Don’t group payments made directly to your bank account
Payments deposited directly into your bank account (for example a customer payment made by direct credit), need to be posted to the bank account that received the payment. You do not need to group these payments.
