About cash entry processing

You create a cash entry by using the Transactions (CA304000) window.
You select a cash account and an entry type, and change the transaction date and financial period, if needed.

Then you add the transaction details. For each transaction detail, you can change the offset account if any default values are provided by the selected entry type, or select an offset account from the list of accounts if no default values are provided.
When you save the cash entry, the system assigns it a reference number in accordance with the numbering series assigned to transactions in the Transactions number series field in the Cash management preferences (CA101000) window.

The system creates cash entries with the Balanced status by default.
(That is, by default, the Hold transactions on entry check box in the Cash management preferences (CA101000) window is cleared, so new cash entries are not put on hold.)
Balanced transactions can be edited, saved, put on hold, or released.

You can quickly record a cash entry by selecting a cash account for the transaction, clicking the Create transaction button on the table toolbar of the Cash account details (CA303000) window and entering the transaction details in the Quick transaction dialog box.

Also, you can quickly add a cash entry during the process of bank statement reconciliation by clicking Create adjustment in the table toolbar of the Reconciliation statements (CA302000) window. This invokes the Quick transaction dialog box.

You can place a balanced cash entry on hold by selecting the Hold check box in the Transactions (CA304000) window, to prevent it from being released and being posted to the Redovisning. With the check box selected, the status of the cash entry is On hold.
A cash entry with this status can be edited, saved, or released from hold.

You can select the Hold transactions on entry check box in the Cash management preferences (CA101000) window to create cash entries with the On hold status by default.

You can configure cash transaction approval in your system so that authorised employees control the cash flow.
If you have configured this approval, when a user attempts to release a transaction that requires approval, the system automatically assigns it to the appropriate employee or employees for approval, and the transaction is assigned the Pending approval status, it keeps until it has been either approved by all the required employees or rejected.
If an approver rejects the cash entry, the system changes its status to On hold.
If the entry has this status, a user may edit the cash entry and assign it for approval again.

To be able to configure cash transaction approval, you should enable the Approval workflow functionality in the Aktivera/inaktivera funktioner (CS100000) window.

In the Transactions (CA304000) window, VAT is applied to the cash entry based on the VAT category of the items on the Transaction details tab and the VAT zone on the Financial details tab.
You can specify the default VAT zone for a particular entry type in the Cash accounts (CA202000) window, and the default VAT categories can be specified for non-stock items used for cash transactions.

These default settings can be overridden for a particular cash entry.

You can view and edit the applied VAT on the VAT details tab.

You can release a balanced cash entry by using the following windows:

• Transactions (CA304000):
  You release the cash entry you are viewing by clicking Release in the Actions menu in the window toolbar.
• Release cash transactions (CA502000):
  You use this window to release a particular cash transaction or multiple cash transactions.
  För mer information, seRelease multiple cash transactions
• Cash account details (CA303000):
  You can also use this window to release a particular cash transaction or multiple cash transactions.
  

When you release a cash entry, its status changes to Released, the system generates a batch, and the system posts it to the Redovisning if the Automatically post to General ledger on release check box is selected in the Cash management preferences (CA101000) window.
If this option is not selected, you can post it manually by using the Bokför buntar (GL502000) window.

The system assigns reference numbers to the batches that implement the transactions in accordance with the numbering sequences used for cash management transactions and updates the involved accounts with the transactions shown in the following tables, based on whether the cash transaction is a receipt or a disbursement and whether taxes were applied to the transaction.

Transactions recorded in the Transactions (CA304000) window do not affect the balances of customer or supplier accounts in the Kundreskontra or Leverantörsreskontra workspaces.

You can view cash entry details by using the following windows:

• Transactions (CA304000):
  You can view cash entry details on this window, as described above, and you can view the associated Redovisning batch (if the transaction has been released) by clicking the batch number on the Financial details tab.
• Cash account details (CA303000):
  In this window, you can view all activity on any cash account during the date range you specify, including the applicable cash entries.
  You can also view the details of the associated Redovisning batch by clicking the batch number in the Batch number column.

If you have added an incorrect cash entry and have released it, you can reverse the changes by generating a reversing cash entry from the incorrect one.
When you create the reversing cash entry, the system generates a transaction with negative amounts to offset the original cash transaction.
