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). |
o | You 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. |
o | In some cases, you may use the same Batch Number for more than one day to group certain of these types of payments together. |
o | 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. |
o | You 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). |
o | The down side of the second method is that you must keep track of the next number to be used. |
o | Each 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. |
• | Print a Cash Receipts Report for the Batch Number being deposited. |
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. |
