Food Service Deposit

Tool Search: Food Service Deposit

This functionality is only available in districts that have purchased Campus Point-of-Sale as add-on functionality.

The Food Service Deposit tool allows a district to enter new deposits, void existing deposits and review account balances for a patron with a POS account. In general, this tool is used for a district or school staff member whose account is not attached to a household record in Campus.

Deposits for student patrons should be handled through the Household Food Service Deposit tool, which allows a deposit to be dispersed among various members of a household.

View Existing Deposits

The Food Service Deposit tool is designed for making and tracking individual deposits to food service accounts. Deposits made through the Household Food Service Deposit tool will show the amount of the deposit specifically allocated to the account being viewed (e.g., if a household deposit of $100 is split between two patrons, this tool will only show the $50 applied to this account). 

This tool will only display deposit transactions. For a complete summary of all account activity (e.g., deposits, purchases, adjustments), please view the Account Journal tool.

Do Not Accept Check

A check mark in the Do Not Accept Check box indicates a NSF(No Sufficient Funds) Block has been set for the patron, indicating that the district has had to collect money from this patron. This is a visual flag to warn staff members not to accept checks from this person.

 

A checkmark for patrons in this area does not prevent check deposits. An alert will appear to the staff member attempting to deposit a check for a "blocked" patron, but that staff member may bypass the warning and continue depositing the check.
