Deposit Audit
The purpose of the Deposit Audit section of Daily Activity Entry is to reconcile the Actual Deposits Captured to the PMS Total.

Each deposit type that is used by the hotel will have an active check box to the left of the deposit name. The bank account listed to the right of the deposit name is the account that these funds will be deposited into daily. When the Manager Approval is completed on the Daily Activity Entry page, all deposit amounts will automatically appear in the general ledger of the bank account that is selected here.
