Cause

This scenario may present itself when site has recently upgraded from an older version to version 2018.1 and higher. In older versions, General Billing Deposits were taken using Category 02 Miscellaneous Receipts. In new versions (2018.1+), Payment Entry has a GB Deposit button during Receipt Entry which brings the user through a new General Billing Deposit module. 

Resolution
  1. Navigate to General Revenues > Payment Processing > Payment Entry. 
  2. Create or resume an existing Payment Entry batch. Click Accept. 
  3. Click Enter Receipts.
  4. Click GB Deposit.
  5. Enter the applicable fields. 
  6. Click Accept. 
  7. Complete the receipt transaction. 
  8. The Customer that just received the deposit will now reflect on their account in Customers within the General Billing tab.
