  2. Enter your district's Business Unit as the Deposit Unit (it may be prefilled).
  3. Leave the Deposit ID as “Next” (unless local business practice dictates otherwise).
  4. Select the Add button.
  5. The Regular Deposit Totals page displays with the Accounting Date (the current date prefills).
    1. Select your district's Bank Code.
    2. Select your district's Bank Account.
    3. Select a Deposit Type of 'C' (Customer) (This value may prefill).
    4. Enter 'USD' as the Control Currency.
    5. Enter the Control Total Amount - the sum of all payments in the deposit group.
    6. Enter the Count - the number of all payments in the deposit group.
  6. Select the Payments tab.
Totals Tab

The Balance field displays the status for the deposit. When the amount total and number of entered payments equals the control amount and count from the Totals page, the status changes from Not Balanced to Balanced. The total amount of all the payments in the deposit must match the control totals on the Totals page before you can create a payment worksheet.

Note that you cannot update payment information for a deposit that has been reconciled with a bank statement.

The Accounting Date field displays the payment date, using the accounting date on the Totals page as the default. The system validates the payment date to make sure that the date falls within the open period for the business unit and transaction type as defined on the Open Periods page for the business unit. The payment date may be different from the deposit date, if you use the postmark date from checks. The payment date affects earned discounts, so it's important that it is accurate.

  1. The Payments page displays.  For each payment entered into this group:
    1. Enter a Payment ID.  Local business practice should inform your decision (some examples CK1234, EFT1234 or CASH1234).
    2. Enter an Amount.
    3. The Payment Method defaults to 'Check' and most common. Optional to manually change to EFT.
    4. Make sure Payment Predictor and Journal Directly are NOT checked.
    5. Select a Customer ID.
    6. If provided, add any reference information that might already exist in the system:
      1. Select a Qual Code that represents the reference type (for this example, I = Item).
      2. Enter or lookup the Reference (for example, the PeopleSoft Invoice Item ID or Bill number).
    7. To add additional payment, in the Payment Information section select the plus icon [+] then repeat steps 7a - 7f.
