Foresight Computer Services is showing a large amount in the Undeposited Funds account. Their income seems very high compared to previous periods. After investigating, you can see that they have been receiving payments from customers and recording deposits using Bank Feeds, posting directly to an income account.

Repeat for all six months
- Crete one deposit, then select all the outstanding payments. Add a new deposit line, select the appropriate income accounts, and enter the total amount of the selected payments as a negative so that the deposit total is zero
- Edit each deposit and check the appropriate payment(s), then delete the sales entry. Make sure the total deposit amount doesn't change. Repeat until all payments have been assigned to the appropriate deposit
