General Program Operation

This program operates in a very similar way to AP-B, Enter/Change Vouchers except that it is adapted specifically for posting cash out's in the POS system.

When you select this menu item, and if there are any items to be posted, the dialog box above will be displayed. If you enter N or press the <Enter> key (the default action) the program will continue to the next waiting cash-out item, if there are any.

If you enter Y or click on the Yes button the entry screen above will be displayed with most of the fields in the top half of the screen already filled in with data.

Press <Enter> to accept the default or your new entry. Enter a G/L Department number if any and then proceed to the G/L Account number fields in the bottom half of the screen. Here's where you enter the account numbers and amounts for distribution. You can choose a G/L account using the <F2> look-up, and you can distribute the cash out over a maximum of 10 different G/L accounts.

Typically you would enter a debit (D) to an Expense (type E) account. For each account number, enter an amount of the cash out to be applied. When the total applied is equal to the amount of the cash out, press <Enter> from a blank line, and the system will ask if you want to post. If you answer N, you will return to the account number entry portion of the program. If you answer Y, the system will bring up the next unposted cash out and ask if you want to continue.

When all cash out's have been posted or you choose not to continue, the program will return to the POS menu. Posted cash out's will be recorded in the Cash Disbursements journal.
