We had a customer wire a deposit for their order, before the Sales Order was created in Kinetic. Since I had to post the cash in order to reconcile the bank account at year end, I just posted the cash as “On Account”. It shows on the customer’s AR Aging.
Now, the sales order has been entered in Kinetic. How can I convert the “On Account” funds to an actual deposit for the Sales Order? I have thought about simply creating a JE to move the funds from the Accounts Receivable GL account to the Deposit GL account, but that will not connect the deposit to the sales order. If I go the JE route, I will have to JE the funds back to Accounts Receivable GL from the Deposit GL when the resulting invoice is funded, since the final payment will be short.
I really don’t like JE’s into system accounts like Accounts Receivable, so I’m looking for the right way to handle this.
Thanks!
