The Check Register [F2] lists all deposits and checks written. Changes made to a deposit or check amount will update the GL entry if it is still in an unposted GL batch.

How To Add a Deposit for a Beginning Balance

•	Choose Add Deposit button at top center

•	Fill in the Deposit Form with a beginning balance

•	TIP: If the deposit is a result of balancing your cash drawer, you should probably select the GL Account for "Cash On Hand"

By default, Accounting: GL Setup: Current Assets has an option called "Post Daily Balance to 'Cash On Hand' account" which has been activated (checked). This means that when you balance the cash drawer, the lump sum deposit, which includes cash, checks, and credit cards, goes to the Cash On Hand account.

POSitive does not automatically enter this amount into the Checkbook, because you have not yet taken it to the bank for a deposit. You may have multiple checking or savings accounts, so it is up to you to determine how much to place into the Checkbook.

Again, the GL Account source will likely be the "Cash On Hand" account.
