Register a cashbook entry

Completing the page reliably

Check the active company or account before entering data. Complete required fields first, then review dates, amounts, references and selections that influence later processing. Inline validation explains which value is missing or invalid; correct that field before trying again. A disabled submit button usually means that required information is incomplete, invalid or still loading.

Submit only once and wait for the confirmation or the destination page. Repeated clicks can create duplicate work when the first request is still being processed. If saving fails, keep the entered values, read the message and correct only the indicated issue. After success, verify the resulting status or record before continuing with a dependent step.

Use this page for a receipt, expense or correction not created automatically.

Amount is the cash movement: positive increases cash and negative decreases it; zero is not allowed. Date is the booking date and defaults to today. Description explains the entry.

Choose Register transaction to add it permanently. It appears as Manual and changes the open cash amount. Check sign and value carefully because existing entries cannot be edited here.

When to use a manual entry

Use it for a direct cash movement not automatically recorded elsewhere: a small expense, cash receipt or correction. Use the dedicated Deposit page for money explicitly deposited into cash.

Fields and checks

Check the Amount sign, use the actual movement Date, and write a Description that remains recognisable later. Submission remains unavailable while required values are missing or amount is zero. A failed save creates no partial entry and leaves values available for correction.

Consequences and corrections

After success, the entry affects open cash and appears in the list. It cannot be edited on details, so verify amount, sign and date first. Correct mistakes with a clearly described opposite entry according to your accounting practice.

Frequently asked questions

Zero is not allowed because it is no movement. A deposit cannot be negative; use a negative manual entry for cash leaving.
