SUMMARY:
Basically, Cash Receipts only update GL when they are posted. And when they are gathered up and posted in a Deposit, is when the checkbook balance is affected.
Deposits (with Receipts/without Receipts) affect the checkbook balance only and do not update GL.
Clear Unused Receipts (Deposits) simply remove receipts from the Deposit Entry window and do not affect the checkbook balance or GL.
Checks, Withdrawals, Increase Adjustments, Decrease Adjustments and Bank Transfers affect both the GL cash account and Checkbook balance at the same time.
