With QuickBooks, everyone is benefited, an employee as well the employer and as a result the company is benefited. The facility of making payments enables an employer to pay anytime, from anywhere. The process is quick, easy and is hundred percent compliant as the software ensure no loop hole is committed. Payment is generally done in 2 to 3 days either through ACH bank transfer or your cards. It sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? But everything can be null and void if the payment made is incorrect or has been made to a wrong person.

Well there are two payments that can be seen in QuickBooks – Deposited Amount and Funds that are not deposited. Deposited amount is that amount which is exact in terms of calculation for a particular recipient. QuickBooks recognizes and keeps it aside. On the other hand, there are certain funds which you receive in breaks and can be deposited once in bulk after you have enough funds to pay.

If you realize that you have made a mistake or you don’t want the payment to go through for any other event, if you feel the need to delete the payments already recorded, you can follow specific steps for both the funds.
