Receive money

To enter a receive money transaction

1. From the Banking menu, choose Receive money. The Create receive money transaction page appears.
2. In the Bank account field, select the account the money is being deposited into. This must be an account with the type Banking or Credit Card. Learn about your accounts list.
3. If you want, select the Contact (payer) you're receiving the payment from. If you'd like to add a new contact, click the dropdown arrow for the Contact field and choose Create contact. Find out more about Adding, editing and deleting customers and suppliers.
4. Enter a Description of transaction. This should describe the overall nature of the transaction—for example, one deposit may be for a number of items (e.g. a monthly deposit for bank interest).

5. Make sure the Reference number is correct. If not, enter a new number.

   Changing the numbering

   If you change the reference number, you’ll change the automatic numbering. For example, if you change the number to 000081, the next time you enter a receive money transaction, the new reference number will be 000082.

6. Check that the correct date is selected in the Date field. If not, enter a new date or click the icon next to it to display the calendar and choose a date.
7. Choose whether the transaction amounts are Tax inclusive or Tax exclusive.
8. Enter the details of the transaction:
   1. In the Account column, select the account to which the deposit amount will be allocated. The tax code for the chosen account will appear in the Tax code column (but you can change this if needed). If you'd like to add a new account, click the dropdown arrow for the Account field and choose Create account. Find out more about Adding, editing and deleting accounts.

   2. In the Amount column, enter the amount you want to allocate to this account.

      There's a built-in calculator in the Amount and Quantity fields. Just enter a calculation in the field and tab out of it:
      

   3. (Optional) If you need to record a quantity associated with this receipt, enter it in the Quantity column.
   4. In the Description column, add a short description about the item for which you’re receiving a deposit.
   5. (Optional) Choose a Job if the line item relates to a specific job. Tell me more about jobs.
   6. If required, change the Tax code.
   7. If you’re receiving a deposit for more than one item in this transaction, repeat step 8 for each item. To delete a line, click the delete icon for that line.
9. Check that the total amount you’re depositing is equal to the total amount displayed at the bottom of the page, including tax or GST. If it’s not, check that you’ve entered the correct amounts.
10. If you want, you can save this transaction as a recurring receive money. This is ideal for repeat payments, like interest payments.
    1. Click Save as recurring.
    2. Enter the recurring transaction Schedule name.
    3. Choose the Frequency, such as Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
    4. Choose the date the recurring transaction will start.
    5. Select how many times you want the transaction to recur.
    6. Click Save.

• • Click Record and create new to record the transaction and create a new one
