Cash Journal is used to manage a company’s cash transactions. The system displays the opening and closing balances based on expenditure and accumulated revenue.
The Cash Journal may be found under the Sales tab. If you can not locate it there, you will need to Edit Menu Entries.
The listed journals may be filtered by Closed (status), Creation Date, Name, and Number. You may also select a journal to Edit or Copy. If a journal is open, you have an additional option to Close it. To delete a journal, right-click on it and select Delete.

To create a journal, select +New. On the Create Cash Journal page, enter in a Name, Opening Balance, and a Start date. You may manually change the Number if you wish.
Next, click Save. The page will change, and more information and options will become available to you. The Name and Number field can be manually changed.
The following information will self-generate and may not be adjusted: Opening Balance, Start date, Created on, and Balance. Select an Organization Unit by clicking the +Add button. Once done, click Save.
Adding Expenses/Revenue
