Searching for deposits in QuickBooks

I personally use the find feature in write checks when trying to troubleshoot for clients for when they used bill/bill payment instead of vendor/pay sales tax and other times when someone has perhaps used write checks to pay a payroll liability instead of using the payroll functionality.  I also use find when searching for an invoice or a bill (if I get a duplicate warning).  It is a very powerful function in QuickBooks.

But what if you are searching for a deposit?  There is no “find” button at the top of the make deposit’s screen, like there is at the “write checks” level or at the invoice level.

Here is how you can search for other types of transactions:

That is really all you have to do to search.  There are other things you can search for under the advanced tab.  You can really filter it down, as well, to define the search.  Of course, if you are using the newer version of QuickBooks, it has a really wonderful search key right on the icon bar that is akin to the old “google” search feature of the older version of QuickBooks.  I will demonstrate that feature in an upcoming post.
