What is a Cash Entry?

A cash entry can be one of four types:

• Receipt – a record of money received from a customer.
• Refund – a record of money refunded to a customer.
• Payment – a record of money paid to a vendor.
• Payment Refund – a record of money refunded by a vendor.

These can be in a variety of forms, including cash, check or through some sort of electronic payment system.

See Cash Entry Fields for a full description of the standard fields that make up a cash entry and its cash entry line items.

Note:

You cannot create a cash entry with a negative value. When cash entries are created by the payment process, if a cash entry of type "Payment" would be created with a negative value it is created instead as a cash entry of type "Payment Refund" with a positive value. If you run cash entry reports based on payment type you might want to review them to include the "Payment Refund" type so that these cash entries are not overlooked.

Bank or processing charges

If there are any bank or processing charges related to this cash entry, you can record them here. You can record these charges as a one-off charge on the header, individually on the account lines, or both.

If you are recording bank charges related to cash received as a payment from a customer or a refund from a vendor, these reduce the amount deposited in the bank, so you must enter the bank charges as a positive amount.

Conversely, if you are recording bank charges related to cash paid out as a payment to a vendor or a refund to a customer, these increase the amount paid out of the bank, so you must enter the bank charges as a negative amount.

Account information

A single line entry will store the Account on the cash entry header and also on the cash entry line item. A multi-line cash entry will store the Account information on the cash entry line items only.

Intercompany cash entries

You can use an intercompany account on a cash entry. When this cash entry is posted, the application takes the appropriate general ledger account (GLA) from the related intercompany definition. See About Intercompany Payments and Cash Entries for more information.
