STO: Create a Deposit for Another Agency

​Introduction

The State Treasurer’s Office (STO) can create a deposit for another agency. The STO user can select the Cash Receipts button and choose the appropriate agency from a drop down menu.

Once the deposit is saved, the agency cannot be changed. At the time the Cash Receipts application saves the deposit, it will also create a deposit number. The deposit number is incremented individually for each agency. To change the agency, the STO user must void the deposit and create a new one.
