Working with Cash Purchases

    

Topic: Purchasing

Overview


Before you start you should know - There two methods of recording a Cash Purchases, directly onto your Bank Account or using the Cash Purchase Document. The former method does not let you record purchases you make to the same level of detail as using the Cash Purchase Document. The major difference being that the Cash Purchase Document lets you record Item Detail.

 

You can use the Cash Purchase Document when you pay a Supplier in full for the products or services at the point of purchase. As well as recording what was purchased, the Cash Purchase Document lets you record the payment method (e.g. Debit Card) you used to pay the Supplier. Cash Purchases work similarly to regular Bills (for which you are invoiced by a Supplier and then later pay the Bill). Indeed, the main difference between the two types of purchase is that Cash Purchases are recorded in a way that changes your cash (i.e. Bank)balance, rather than your Accounts Payable (Purchase Ledger).
