Create a cash desk

Create a cash desk when the company will pay or receive in cash at a till. The card is the desk later money documents name.

Note

Save on the cash desk does not move the cash balance. Payments do: Record a bank payment, Customer payment, Transfer money.

How to#

To create a cash desk, open Ribbon → Accounting → Dictionaries → Cash desks.

Press New. Fill Name. Pick Currency. Legal entity, Cash account, and Cash holder can stay empty. Leave Disabled off. Save. The card receives an ID and the row appears in Cash desks. The cash balance is still zero.

Currency is the only currency this desk holds. A money document that names this Cash desk must be in that currency.

Empty Cash account on this card uses Cash account from Set ledger accounts. Fill Cash account when this desk should post to its own leaf. Fill Legal entity when the desk belongs to one company; leave it empty when it does not. Tick Disabled later when the till is no longer used: the card stays for history.

Then open a payment or a transfer and pick this Cash desk. Until you post that document, the cash balance stays as it was.

Example

• Name Riyadh SAR till
• Currency SAR
• Legal entity empty
• Cash account empty

Save. The cash balance is still zero. A later customer payment that picks Riyadh SAR till must be in SAR.

Tip

Cash holder is the person who keeps the till; it is not required to save. To move cash from this desk into a bank account, create a bank account, then transfer money.
