customer payments showing as payments instead of deposits

I have used Reckon for 2 years now for our not-for-profit but our last treasurer deleted payments after reconciliations. As I am back to being the treasurer again I decided to start afresh for this financial year and opened a new company file. I was ready to reconcile July's bank statement but this time customer payments ( membership) appear as payments instead of deposits. Everything else is normal and each invoice is marked as paid and no outstanding amounts against customers names. I don't know how to change these payments to deposits. Can anyone help please?

Robyn.
How did the 'payment' form the customer get entered?
a) Was it a "Receive Payments" and posted direct to an actual bank account (which would show as a payment, as you see).
OR:
b) did you want to process the payment as a cash deposit to the Business, whereby it would sit in deposited awaiting a trip to the bank?

Thanks Gary, I entered the payment in received payments and it shows as paid on the invoice but does not appear in the bank account details. Neither do the cheque payments I have entered in bills. Nothing appears in the reconcile except for the starting balance in petty cash that shows as a deposit. All worked fine until I upgraded to windows 10 and started new company. I feel that it must have something to do with the item list. The To Account I had as membership account which I had previously. I have matched all the preferences from old account to new account.

On the screen where you receive payments from your customers, it sounds like the BANK ACCOUNT is not being selected. Meantime, the monies are being recognised as coming off the Accounts Receivable, and flagging the invoice as being paid, but the actual funds (the DEBIT) to some BANK ACCOUNT are disappearing somewhere else.
What does your Balance Sheet show, in terms of where the funds are sitting that have been received? There has to be a corresponding entry for these received (A/R) payments somewhere.

The balance sheet doesn't show any of the deposits or payments. I know this must be something simple but I have spent days and days and still getting nowhere.

Well Robyn, do you want to email me your contact details to consider a remote session to set some extra 'eyes' on the issue.

Hi Robyn,
Can you click on the Banking menu and then Make Deposits.
See if there are any payments appearing there that need to be deposited to your bank account.
We recommend that you also perform a file integrity check (Verify Data) just to be sure that the file has no errors detected.

After some Teamviewer inspections on this matter, it came down to the fact that preferences had been set, to use UNDEPOSITED FUNDS as part of customer Payment Receipts. The processing of undeposited funds to the real bank account then introduced a second dated transaction en masse for all the deposits.
Edit --> Preferences --> Sales and Custoemrs --> UNTICK the 'use undeposited funds as default'.
This enabled "RECEIVE PAYMENTS activities to select the real BANK.
But I'll allow Robyn to come back with her results after adopting this cahnge in practice, to see if the mystery is now solved.

Wow. Thanks Gary for all your advice and very prompt resolution via teamviewer. I have reconciled all bank statements back to the start of the financial year and all worked perfectly. Getting rid of undeposited funds default saved a few steps and certainly streamlined the process. I am very grateful for your help as all is working fine now.2
