Deposit Assistant
The Deposit Assistant dialog box allows you to search for accounts receivable instances being paid by an employee or client, apply a payment to each instance, and add them as line items on a deposit. This is available from the Deposit screen once a Bank Account has been selected.
The Deposit Assistant contains two working areas. In the Outstanding items area, you can search for outstanding accounts receivable instances and populate returned instances into the Outstanding Items list. For each instance in the list you can enter the amount to be paid for the instance. The search can be repeated, with each search replacing the current contents of the outstanding items list. Any instances that are being paid should be moved to the Applied Payments area. Items in the Applied Payments will be used to create line items in the Deposit when the dialog box is closed.
