Running the Cash Receipts Journal

Use the Cash Receipts Journal to keep track of your company's credits and receivables. You can produce this report in a variety of formats to accommodate different reconciliation procedures.

For example, if your company has a sales counter or a showroom where employees take payments or deposits, you need to reconcile the collections with expected receipts. Each time an employee enters a payment received, this amount shows up in several places. In the A/R Ledger, the amount shows as a payment received. The amount would show up as a credit to the A/R Ledger, and a debit from the A/R Ledger for the account assigned to the cash box item in the G/L Automatic Postings account. You would run the Cash Receipts Journal to create a summary of all cash received for a certain date and from a certain location.

Because users with the proper authority can change closed transactions, the data on this report is subject to change. Therefore, this report is not for audit purposes.
