First of all, you are perhaps confusing when money/cash/check received
with when deposited.
Let's say the following events:
a) 7/14 check $100 for building fund
b) 7/15 check $50 general donation
c) 7/16 collection plate$47.45
d) 7/17 deposited these checks and cash to the bank account
The ley thing to keep in mind is that the bank deposit date has nothing
to do with when "cash" was received. There are FOUR separate events
here, three receipts of cash (if normally no "cash box" might call tat
account "undepositied funds") and each of these credited to the
appropriate income account and then a fourth transaction transferring
the undeposaited funds to the bank account.
Is the source of confusion that you are e=required to list each check
separately on the deposit ticket? THAT has nothing to do with your books
(nor is it reflected in your bank statement. Think of that as just
rechecking your sums.
