Ability to Link Square Bank Deposits to Transactions and Invoices

Please create the ability to associate a new transaction or new invoice with a prior Square banking check deposit.

 

You already store the payment data in your database(s) and have photographic proof of the payment, so it should not be considered "backdating" and would help avoid audits, legal, or accounting issues.

 

Use Case:

A customer uses a check to buy a service at the end of the month which needs to be invoiced later due to business hours or holiday closures. If it is past the quarterly sales cut off, creating a new transaction or invoice puts it into the wrong month of sales reporting.

 

Scenario:

  1. Customer pays for a service with a check and I deposit it in Square banking at the end of the day.
  2. I am closed over the weekend or going on holiday, so I create an a new transaction or invoice to send them a receipt in Square on my next business day, but it's now a new month in a new quarter.
  3. While creating the transaction or invoice, I have the ability to link to the deposit from my checking/savings account, which captures the actual payment date.
  4. This populates the transaction date or invoice completed date to the date that the check was deposited, keeping the records accurate.
  5. I pull my sales reports and it shows the sale in the date range of the check deposit date, not the transaction/invoice creation date.
