 So let's let's look at those options and hopefully that'll be making it a little bit more clear. I'm going to make a new tab this time. I'm going to right click and duplicate the tab. Let's pull this to the front and and I'm going to do my sales receipt in here. Now the one I'm going to use this time let's let's use this uh 420. So let's say we use that 420. So I'm going to go up top and say all right let's have a new item and let's say this time we're going to say an invoice first. So let's enter an invoice and let's say this is for customer four just to change things up customer number four and boom and bam and let's say this one is on let's say oh nine I think everything was in let's say 10 oh one uh 22 let's say and then I'm going to say I'm just going to create a service item again let's just say hours and let's say the rate is five what did I say it was again I forgot 420 420 man 420 okay so there we have it so so this is going to then increase accounts receivable by 420 the other side is going to go to revenue by 420 and we're going to be tracking the sub ledger for the customer number four so that we can receive the payment on it just like normal on the invoice this would happen of course before we had the the receipt of the payment that we're tying out to in the bank fee so this would be the first thing that happens in our scenario in our story so we're going to say save it and close it boom and so then the next thing so now we can check that out if I go to my balance sheet and run it I'm going to say okay there's the checking account there's the accounts receivable accounts receivable there's the 420 invoice boom shaka locker all right and then the other side if I go back on up is on the income statement income statement services and if I go into that there's the 420 there okay going back up and then if I go to the first tab and I track this internally I can go to my sales my customers close up the hamburger and down to customer number four we've got our invoice the next thing we would expect to happen is to receive the payment by the way if you're in the business view where's that located it's under the get paid and pay area and then the customers on the left so the next thing you would expect is the receive payment option last time we connected the the deposit that cleared the bank directly to the invoice this time I'm going to record the receive payment and then try to connect the bank feed from there so we can also find by the way that open invoice we might track it another way by going to sales and then and then you might go to all sales and then sort your invoices this way by say the open invoices so that's another way that you could track that which is in a little slightly different place on the business view that's under bookkeeping and then transactions and then all sales that's where it is on the business view okay so given that then we could make our receive payment so let's do that so now we're going to say okay we got paid we're going to get paid by it so we're going to say all right got the money say it happened on the 10-2 let's say and let's say that we got whatever you know cash let's just say it was a check let's say now the options are at this point in time we can put it directly into the checking account right we can put it into the checking account which means we're going to have an increase to the checking account for which is going to be recorded not with a deposit but a receive payment and a decrease to the accounts receivable the receive payment will decrease accounts receivable that's like the defining factor of the form or we can put it into this clearing account which is called payments to deposit and then make the deposit into the checking account now normally when you put it into payments to deposit one reason you do that is once again because you might have multiple items that are being received possibly with cash or possibly by credit card which are going to be grouped together by the credit card company or you when you make the physical deposit into the bank and therefore you're going to have that clearing account to help you to tie out what goes into your checking account not only in terms of total dollar amount but the units of dollars so that you can do the the checking to the bank account possibly with the bank feeds to help you out with the bank reconciliation so if that were the case then I couldn't I couldn't really tie the bank feed to the receive payment I would have to actually make the physical deposit in my system so that I can do that grouping thing but you also might say well if I'm going to tie the bank feeds to the receive payments maybe I'm just going to put it into the payments to deposit as another double check so when I get to the bank feeds the bank feeds will take it out of payments to deposit and move it into the checking account so it'll still record a transaction so let's just see what that would look like I'm going to I'm going to save this see what are you talking about for crying out loud okay let's just see what I'm talking about here I'll show you so I'm going to go up top and we're going to say then this is going to decrease the accounts receivable so if I go into the accounts receivable we've got a decrease there for the payment that's good the other side didn't go into the checking account yet we put it into this clearing account which is the same as undeposited funds in the desktop view and there's the 420 payment so nothing happened to cash because I mean the income statement because income was impacted when we did the invoice now normally if you were going to make a deposit then if I hit the plus button and we're going to say the next step would be to make a deposit in our flow chart here if I was going to make it not with the bank feeds but just enter a deposit you've got this like list so that if there were multiple payment items you can group them together so that it will be recorded in your checking account in the same grouping as what's going to be on the bank statement because if you got multiple cash deposits or multiple credit card deposits you want to put them into your checking account in the same grouping as they're going to show on the bank statement that's kind of like the point but but now I'm going to say instead of doing that I'm going to say instead of doing that why did it what was that I don't I just want to log out of this deposit form we're going to try to connect the bank feed to it to record that transaction which should move it from here to the checking account
