Cash Book
Cash Book Overview
To open the Cash Book click at the
Cash Book
icon.
On display is the Cash Book for the
Current Month
, the tab for which is highlighted in colour (e.g. Aug for
August in Figure 2-4).
Cash Receipts are recorded on the left under the heading
CASH IN
. Cash Payments are on the right under
the heading
CASH OUT
. Each has its own distinct colour to help define where the dividing line is between
the two.
Figure 2 - 4 The opening (browse) screen of the Cash Book
The screen you should be looking at will be similar to that shown in Figure 2-4. Note the following:
Highlighted in colour are all the column headings (Date, Details, etc.) including your own titles for
the Analysis Categories which, in Cash Receipts, begin to display after the Ref column. The arrow
key
or 4 button will allow you to see the other column headings. Alternatively, by placing the
mouse pointer directly onto the Receipts/Payments dividing line you can ‘drag’ the page open, as if
you were drawing the curtains.
The arrow keys, pointing up and down, on the keyboard will allow you to scroll up and down in the
Cash Receipts book, to see earlier entries.
Each horizontal line represents one transaction, the last of which (it may be on the Payments side)
will be highlighted.
Note: In the Cash Book all entries are stored and displayed
in
transaction date
sequence.
“Cash”
, In the bookkeeping sense, does not refer exclusively to notes and coins. Customers’ cheques,
postal orders and direct debits etc. are all Cash Receipts and should be treated as such. However, not all
payments are treated as Cash Payments, e.g. when you make a payment by cheque or direct debit etc. then
you would enter the transaction in the Cheques Journal rather than through the Cash Payments Book.
