1.Receipts should be Deposited daily!
There is no sense in "holding checks until we have enough to deposit".
Your bank account's bank charges, and the interest earnings that help offset them, are determined by your average daily balance.
You don't get any credit for checks in your safe.

 

2.Each day's Receipts should be assigned a unique batch number - by default - the date's day number.
You may use multiple Batch Numbers within the same day to separate Credit Card transactions from Cash Receipts, and to separate those Receipts from EFT funds.
In some cases, you may use the same Batch Number for more than one day to group certain of these types of payments together.
Batch Numbers may be assigned from 1 to 32637 (this limitation is a function of the field type into which you are entering this Batch Number).
oYou may start a new numbering sequence each month (using the current Date's Day number), so the same Batch Number will be used in multiple Months but the date will be different.
oIn some cases, you may use the same Batch Number for more than one day to group certain of these types of payments together.
oYou may use multiple Batch Numbers within the same day to separate Credit Card transactions from Cash Receipts, and to separate those Receipts from EFT funds.
oYou may start from 1 and increment the Batch Number perpetually (if you used 2 batch numbers for two deposits every day, 5 days a week, it would take over 60 years to use all of the numbers).
oThe down side of the second method is that you must keep track of the next number to be used.
oEach month starts a new sequence so the same Batch Number will be used in multiple Months
MKMS automatically records Receipts in an individual Month & Year group to keep them differentiated.
Post the Receipts
Print a Cash Receipts Report for the Batch Number being deposited.
Remember that a Batch Number should never include Receipts from multiple Banks.

 

3.Prepare your Bank Deposit Slip
Enter each Receipt item on the Deposit Slip.
Using an adding machine - with Tape - add up the Deposit Slip's total.
Compare the individual items and the Tape total with the individual items and Cash Receipts Report total.
Ensure all the items are entered correctly, after matching both lists.

 

4.Make the Bank Deposit
Attach the validated deposit slip to the day's Cash Receipt Report.
Save these together until you have Reconciled your Bank Statement.
