Deposit types are used to ensure that deposits are recorded in the correct GL account in your accounting system. If all deposits are in the same GL account or if you are not recording deposits in your accounting system via an integration or report from Momentus Elite, you can create a single deposit type.
Deposits which are a specific charge and which change the balance of the event (such as damage deposits) will be added to the event via inventory items and can have their specific GL account assigned there. The deposit types you are creating here are used strictly for pre-payments which do not change the balance of the event.

Add Deposit Types
- Click the plus by Deposit Types.
- In the Create Deposit type slider:
- Add the name of the deposit type. If you only have one type, you can just call it deposit.
- Select the appropriate GL account your deposits should be allocated to (this is optional).
- Select which taxes we should apportion part of the deposit to. Notes:
- If this type is used to create a percentage deposit, only taxes selected here and added to the items selected on the deposit invoice or invoice schedule will be apportioned. Only select taxes you wish to include on deposit invoices.
- If this type is used to create a flat deposit, all selected taxes will be backed out of the deposit amount, apportioning an amount for each selected tax. We recommend only including taxes that will later be charged on the event.
You'll notice there isn't an option to specify if the deposit is a percentage of charges or a flat amount - that option is chosen when the deposit invoice is created.
- Click Save.
