# Deposits

Funds that you receive that pay customer invoices should be entered in Customer Payments.

2. Optionally, you may enter a reference number or identifier for the deposit.  
3. Select a Deposit Account and press Tab.   As you enter a Deposit Account in the Type-Thru drop box, the system will find the best match.  You can also click on the down arrow at the right of the drop box to display the full list of deposit accounts. Scroll down the list until you find the desired account and click to retrieve it for the deposit.
