Frequently banks will either charge your account with a variety of items (check charges, overdraft fees, service charges, etc.) or they may credit your account for other reasons (interest earned, etc.). These charges and credits are usually discovered when reviewing the bank's monthly statement and adjustments to record these items should be entered through the Deposit Entry function.
Bank credits to your account are entered just the same as any other deposit. Enter the date of the credit, a description of the credit, and the amount of the credit as a positive number. Select the appropriate income (or other) account to record the credit amount.
Bank charges to your account are entered the same as credits except the amount is entered as a negative number by placing a minus sign (-) in the first position of the amount field. Select the appropriate expense (or other) account to record the charge amount.
