    Hi Kat, Kevins response relates to the Reckon Accounts product. Regarding Reckon One, the contact field in receipts and payments is a required field. In the scenario where a customer pays you a deposit (early payment) before you have issued an invoice to them. You would enter a credit receipt. Credit receipts can later be allocated to an invoice. Receipts require a customer contact. In the scenario where you pay a deposit (early payment) to a supplier before they have issued you a bill. You would enter a credit payment. Credit payments can later be allocated to a bill. Payments require a supplier contact. Contacts can be customer only, supplier only or both customer and supplier. The thread below has some more info on credit receipts https://community.reckon.com/reckon/topics/where-do-i-find-credits-in-reckon-one If this doesn't answer your question then perhaps you could explain your scenario in more detail.

    That's ok Kevin...would have been awesome if there was a 'make deposits' button. I've come from Quickbooks and im used to it. Ok basically we have received a deposit of funds from a family member to help out in paying for invoices.

    There are quite a few threads on the community that relate to the scenario of contributions to a business.

    This can be entered via a journal entry using an equity account & a bank account. However this is also an accounting related question & you should talk to your accountant.

    Here are a few related threads on this topic

    Make sure you have your chart of accounts set up accordingly and do it up as a journal. Out of 'personal' bank account and into 'business' bank account
