I generally use a two step process.

First the cheque goes into “undeposited cheques”.   And the appropriate income

multiply cheques in a single transaction with the bank account as destination.

That's the technically proper way, especially if deposits not made right away. It's what I did for several of my organizations as their bank not necessarily my bank so a special trip. The money is "yours" when* you got the check, not when you bothered to deposit it. But ALSO .......

It makes the deposit of several checks easier. They were entered individually to "undeposited" so if a split involved, fairly simple. If you wait till creating the deposit transaction, that could be a very complex split.

* For legal purposes, when whoever sent the check made "constructive delivery" to you. For example, the time of the post mark (the envelope is your legal property even though you haven't received it yet)
