Deposits: Taking Money to the Bank

Learn how to group undeposited receipts into bank deposits and generate deposit slips in Edlio Accounting.

After recording receipts, funds remain in an undeposited state until grouped into a finalized bank deposit. Creating deposits in Edlio Accounting ensures that internal bookkeeping records align perfectly with your physical bank deposit slips.

Viewing the Deposits Manager

Navigate to Receipts > Deposits. The deposits table lists all past finalized deposits, total amounts, deposit dates, and reconciliation statuses:

💡 Best-Practice Adoption Tip: Always run physical bank deposits at regular intervals (e.g., weekly or whenever undeposited funds exceed $250). Finalizing deposits in Edlio Accounting on the same day the physical deposit is taken to the bank prevents bank reconciliation discrepancies at month-end.

Building a New Bank Deposit

To create a deposit slip, click the blue New Deposit button in the upper right corner:

  2. Deposit Date: Set the date the deposit will be taken to or processed by the bank.

  3. Description: Add reference notes (e.g., "Weekly Activity Deposit - Oct 14").

  4. Select Receipts: Review the available undeposited receipts table. Use the payment method filter tabs (All, Cash, Check, Card) to verify your physical currency counts against the receipts.

  5. Check Boxes: Select the checkboxes for each receipt included in the physical deposit. The Deposit Summary sidebar automatically recalculates the total deposit amount and receipt count.

  6. Create Deposit: Click Create Deposit to finalize the transaction and print the official deposit summary slip.
