3.Click on New Check
4.Enter the Customer, Check Number, and a negative Check Amount
5.Enter the Invoice or Job Number the check was applied to.  The system will put out a warning message informing you that the job is already marked "Paid in Full", and it will ask if you are sure you want to apply a payment to it.  Click Yes.
6.In the “This Payment” field, enter the negative payment amount.  Click OK.
7.The “Remaining to be distributed” field should be zero.  Click Finished to return to the main Accounting screen.

NOTE:  In some cases, the deposit may have been lumped in with other cash receipts as a single entry.  If that is the case, you could either edit the original deposit, or you could enter a withdrawal without creating an AP record.
