Bank and cash book
Purpose
- Record money that moved through a bank or cash account when it is not collecting a customer invoice and not paying a supplier invoice.
- Find, print, and delete those vouchers on the cash book listing. Generate many similar vouchers from a spreadsheet template. Import the bank statement so you can match it to the books.
- Screen: Bank.
Menu path
- Bank → Cash Book Listing.
- Bank → Payment, or the listing → New Payment.
- Bank → Receipt, or the listing → New Receipt.
- Bank → Cash Book Template.
- Bank → Bank Statement. The same listing is also opened from Bank Reconciliation as Imported Bank Statement Listing.
Which screen to use
- Customer paid you against invoices. Sales → Receipt. Filter Customer Receipt on the cash book listing to find it later.
- You paid supplier invoices. Purchase → Payment. Filter Supplier Payment on the listing.
- Rent, petrol, supplies, bank charges, dividend, or a loan repayment, with no supplier bill. Cash-book Payment, or Assistant Record an expense.
- Other income, loan proceeds, a director loan, or capital in, and it is not accounts receivable. Cash-book Receipt, or Assistant Money received.
- Advance to a supplier before the bill. Assistant Deposit to supplier. That is still a cash-book payment. Apply it later on Payment.
- Money advanced to staff. Type employee advance in chat. That is a cash-book payment. The account is usually a current asset.
- Walk-in sale paid now. Cash Sales, not a cash-book receipt.
- Match the bank statement. Bank reconciliation, not the cash book listing.
- Do not post the same slip as both a cash-book payment and a purchase invoice or a general ledger Expense. Pick one path.
Assistant
- Money out, no supplier bill: Purchases & money out → Record an expense, or type Record a business expense payment.
- Money in, not collecting an invoice: Sales & money in → Money received, or type Record money received into my bank.
- Deposit to supplier, or Record a deposit paid to a supplier.
- Employee advance or staff loan. There is no empty-screen chip. Type it.
- Confirm accounts before KinraSoft posts. The wizard saves a cash-book document. Check Cash Book Listing, not the Sales or Purchase invoice listing.
- Do not type “how to record an expense” or “how to record money received” if you want the live wizard.
- There is no chat wizard for the listing, the cash book template, bank statement import, or the full payment and receipt toolbar (print layout, column setting, attachments). Ask “how to…” for those guides, and finish print and attachments on the screen.
