Cash
The Cash entity that is setup and created under the Accounts >> Bank menu is used to manage your Petty Cash or Cash. You may have multiple Petty Cash Chart of Accounts that you want to link to multiple cash entities. These cash entities can be associated with cash drawers within Augtool and used to pay invoices with cash. You can also have one Petty Cash Chart of Account and link multiple cash entities to this one Petty Cash Chart of Account which is what we would suggest.
The Cash entity is used by various parts of the system and directs the transactions to its relevant Petty Cash Chart of Account. To pay or receive money in cash for Invoices and Receipts and Cash Slips at least one cash entity is required.
To pay for an invoice with cash you can simply allocate cash by clicking on the Received button on an invoice (purchase or sales) as long as you have setup a petty cash account as seen below.
All cash allocations from invoices and directly will create a payment receipt in the Accounts >> Payments/receipts menu. Cash payments that are linked to a petty cash account that is set to create cash slips works in a different way and is explained under cash slips in the guide.
