Ledgers Nominal or General Ledger: Cash Book Transaction Posting

Cash Book Transaction Posting

Cash Book Transaction Posting

A cash book transaction (type 37) is a set of one or more direct postings to G/L accounts balanced by a single payment (or cash receipt) from a selected bank or cash account. It has a similar effect to an A/P Invoice posting with the Pay Now option, however in this case no supplier is involved. It also has some of the characteristics of a Journal in that it generates transactions only within the G/L and is sequentially numbered.

The Cash Book Transaction window consists of an enterable list which you fill out much like a spreadsheet. First enter a G/L posting account and tab to enter a tax class and amount, etc. On tabbing out of the Comment column, a new line will be added in which another posting can be entered. Any line with zero gross value will be removed automatically before posting.

Make the entries in the grid. To add an entry to the end, tab out of the last line. To remove a line, blank the account code.

You can enter any number of accounts for posting and they can be in mixed currencies. The totals at the bottom are respectively the total net posting, the total tax that will be debited to the tax control account(s) and the gross amount that will be credited to the bank or cash account you select.

When you have finished preparing the cash book transaction, click on the Post as Listed button. The transaction will be posted and you will be offered the opportunity to print a record of it.

On posting the system generates a serial number for the cash book transaction and stamps the contra field of each transaction with Cnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the cash book transaction number.
