The Received Security Deposit Entry screen lets you add and work with security deposits you have received. Except for the title, this screen is identical to the screen you use to add cash receipts. You enter a security deposit as unapplied cash for the tenant. When you do this, the system does the following:
Debits the account specified in the automatic accounting instructions (AAIs). The specific AAI is RB, which is the default bank account.
Credits the liability account for security deposits. The related AAI is the bill code for security deposits plus the prefix RC such as RCSECD.
Security deposits are actually negative invoices that are cleared in the refund process. For an overview of security deposits, see Chapter 128, "Security Deposit Process" in this guide. For more information about cash receipts, see Chapter 27, "Cash Application Process" in this guide.
From the Real Estate Management System menu (G15), choose Security Deposits.
From the Security Deposits menu (G1525), choose Received Security Dep. Entry.
