Deleting a Sales (Donation) Receipt

Mike: Go to the Sales Receipt item. Click on the History icon at the top of the Sales Receipt window. You will see the line for the deposite. While highlighting the deposit, click on the Go to... icon to the right. From there you should be able to click on Edit, Delete Deposit from the main menu bar.

We need to delete duplicate deposits that were made because we used the sales receipt and make payments components. At first I deposited the items then I made a reverse entry in the register to zero it out. That looked like it worked, however, it is still showing more money than we actually received for the jobs. How do you permanently, delete deposits.

Then....I learned how to delete the sales receipts, but now the deposits are back... and....

I am getting correct amounts in some places and incorrect in others.

I need some help here.

If you are making a deposit, the money is coming from the undeposited funds account. Deleting the deposit simply moves it back to that account. The Sales Receipt window will debit the undeposited funds account and credit the sales (donations) account. When you delete the Deposit then the Sales Receipts that were deposited, you have in effect removed the fact that you ever received the money.

Use the History icon to go back to see where the original source of the funds is.

Glenn - Thank you for instructions. They worked.

I am having basically the same problem.  In one case I need to adjust a Sales Receipt because the Donor wrote out the check incorrectly.  In the other I put it in Sales Receipts and it should have gone in Receive Payments.  Something must have changed between 2007 and Quickbooks 2008 because the answer listed here doesn't work in the 2008 Quickbooks.  I really need to make these corrections because I am being held up by them.  PLEASE HELP!
