Ledgers Nominal or General Ledger: Petty Cash Posting

Petty Cash Posting

Petty Cash Posting

Cash or direct Bank transactions can be processed using this function. Typically you can use it for recording petty cash or employee expense claims.

Processing can be carried out on any Cash type or Bank type G/L account. The arrow buttons or drag and drop from the ScratchPad enables you to select a Cash or Bank type account. All values at the bottom of the window are shown in the selected account’s currency.

You should build a list of transactions by tabbing out of the last line in the grid list, assigning each payment to a purchase type G/L account. You can enter cash deposits from a bank account with negative amounts, but only if you are processing in a Cash type account. When the list is prepared it can be changed using the Clear All or Clear Line buttons. Once you are satisfied with all entries on the list, post them by clicking on the Post as Listed button.
