Customer payments into petty cash

A cash payment for a sale can go directly into a petty cash fund: when you record it, choose the fund in Destination of funds (see Accounts receivable). The payment appears as an income movement in the fund and increases its balance; if the payment is reversed, an adjustment that deducts it is recorded.

​
Accounting

Purchases paid from petty cash and payments that go into it are posted against the cash account when you process documents.
