Grouped Payments

When you group your payments, it will become much easier to track your transactions using the Undeposited Funds in QuickBooks.

Let’s make it simple with the help of an example, suppose you have three different invoices that will be paid at once from the same customer. Now, your ‘Actual’ bank recognized those three payments that you have made as a Single Deposit. And now when you record these transactions in your QuickBooks accounts, you are required to combine them to deposit it in your QuickBooks checking account. That is when the Undeposited Funds in QuickBooks are used. This feature will help in reconciling your payments and Group Deposits in your QuickBooks account.

In simpler words, when you deposit three separate cheques of $100 that has been invoiced from the same customer, the QB Undeposited Funds will combine these three different cheques and show the entry of $300 under the name of that customer. This will avoid the unnecessary hassle to record multiple transactions and time-consumption of business hours.
