Selecting Undeposited Payments Account

You may designate an account from your chart of accounts to hold undeposited payments and sales receipts. You may also choose the default placeholder account Undeposited Funds instead of choosing a specific account. This is selection is especially helpful for those exporting to Peachtree.

  1. Click Setup in the left-hand menu.
  2. Click Chart of Accounts in the "Billing" area.

  3. Select the appropriate Undeposited Payment Account.

Peachtree users: Within Peachtree create a new chart of account item for undeposited funds. Go to Lists, Chart of Accounts, New. The Account ID field is what needs to match the ChamberMaster Chart of Account Account Name field. Once this has been created in both Peachtree and ChamberMaster, go into the Chart of Account list in ChamberMaster and set that account as the Undeposited Payment Account. Once this has been completed, Payments and deposits will flow through to Peachtree in the Journal Entry Export.
