In case Erzsi's information is not the solution, can you elaborate on what you were exactly trying to do?  Did you get any error or warning messages for example, these are very helpful in diagnosing your problems and giving you a solution more quickly.  You can also search the Knowledgebase for information based on most messages.

Any chance you attempted to use the Direct Deposit option on the Payment method drop down?  And if so, do you have a subscription that includes Payment Processing by Sage, either Direct Payments or EFT Direct?

My guess is no and based on the description of the receipts entry, you paid for the purchases before you left the store.

In this case, don't use Direct Deposit as that is for paying vendors after the fact.

One method is to use the Purchases data entry screen, select Cheque and enter DP and the receipt authorisation code in the Cheque Number field instead of the cheque number that shows up.  If it was paid by credit card, then you might want to set up a credit card in the system so you can use that under the Payment Methods (eg. bought from Staples, paid by VISA).  Credit cards used to pay for purchases are set up under Setup, Settings, Company, Credit Cards, Used.
