How Direct Deposit Paychecks are Displayed in Account Reconciliation Reports
In the Account Reconciliation window, previously posted direct deposit paychecks are displayed differently from other transactions. Instead of appearing as single transactions, they appear grouped together as a single-sum entry totaled by date. The Reference/Check Number for the direct deposit entry is prefaced by "DirectPay" followed by the transaction date—for example, DirectPay041903.
On reports, direct deposit paychecks also appear referenced by the "DirectPay" prefix and date. However, they are treated slightly differently on three of the account reconciliation reports:
Account Reconciliation report: Here, all direct deposit paychecks for a given date are grouped together, as a single-sum entry, in the list of outstanding checks.
Account Register report: In this report direct deposit paychecks are grouped under the "DirectPay" prefix, but detail for each individual paycheck is also shown, including transaction type, description, and withdrawal amount.
Outstanding Checks report: In this report, too, direct deposit paychecks are grouped under the "DirectPay" prefix. Detail for each individual paycheck is also shown, including date, transaction description, and transaction amount. Since payroll transactions are withdrawals, these amounts appear as negative values.
