Cash purchase

Purpose

Record a walk-in or counter purchase paid now. Money leaves the Pay From bank or cash account. The supplier does not keep an outstanding bill.
For bill now, pay later, use a Purchase Invoice, then a Payment.
Screen: Purchase → Purchase Document → Cash Purchase. New Cash Purchase or double-click a row.
There is no Fast Cash Purchase spreadsheet. Bulk paid-now rows are not on this listing. Fast Purchase creates credit purchase invoices.
There is no live cash-purchase wizard. Ask “how to create a cash purchase”. Paid now without a supplier bill is Record an expense. Credit bills are Record a supplier bill.

A supplier exists. Many companies keep one Cash / walk-in supplier for counter buys.
A Bank Account or Cash Account exists on the chart of accounts for Pay From.
Default Cash Purchase account on Account Setup helps fill line Account.
Date on or after conversion for new work.

Purchase Invoice: you still owe the supplier. There is no Pay From on the invoice (use Payment later). It shows on aging and the statement until paid. Use it for credit terms.
Cash Purchase: you do not still owe the supplier. Pay From is on this document. It does not sit as outstanding. Use it when you pay at the counter.
Do not also enter a Payment for the same cash purchase, or you bank the money twice.
Rent, petrol, or supplies paid from the bank with no supplier is Record an expense, or a cash-book payment, not Cash Purchase.

Pay From empty. Create a bank or cash account and pick it.
Supplier still on aging. You saved a Purchase Invoice. Pay with Payment, or delete and use Cash Purchase.
No Fast Cash Purchase. Expected. Use this form per document, or Fast Purchase for credit bills.
Chat opened a supplier bill. That is a purchase invoice (you still owe). Use the Cash Purchase screen when paid now.
e-Invoice. A walk-in may need a Cash supplier with e-Invoice category or TIN, or a self-billed or consolidated document.
