Purpose
- Record direct bank or cash movements that are not collecting a customer invoice and not paying a supplier invoice.
- Customer paid you against invoices. Sales → Receipt.
- You paid supplier invoices. Purchase → Payment.
- 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.
- Money advanced to staff. Type employee advance in chat. That is a cash-book payment.
- Walk-in sale paid now. Cash Sales, not a cash-book receipt.
- Screen: Bank → Payment, or Cash Book Listing → New Payment. Bank → Receipt, or Cash Book Listing → New Receipt.
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.

- There is no chat wizard for the full payment and receipt toolbar (print layout, column setting, attachments). Finish those on the screen.
