Peachtree users: Within Peachtree create a new chart of account item for undeposited funds. Go to Lists, Chart of Accounts, New. The Account ID field is what needs to match the ChamberMaster Chart of Account Account Name field. Once this has been created in both Peachtree and ChamberMaster, go into the Chart of Account list in ChamberMaster and set that account as the Undeposited Payment Account. Once this has been completed, Payments and deposits will flow through to Peachtree in the Journal Entry Export.
