Is there a way to enter a cash payment without making out a bill? i.e. Post Office or small hardware store purchase.

All I do is collect all the petty cash reciepts on a bulldog clip then once a month or whenever, just open up the petty cash account and add transactions as a direct entry to the account. use the "split" button to assign to the correct expense account. Job done. in fact, depending on how lazy I am feeling, rather than enter them on the exact the purchase was made I just chose a day and staple as many reciepts as will fit onto an A4 piece of paper and just enter them all on the same day. Job done even quicker. :¬) Pete -- http://www.gymratz.co.uk - Gym Equipment & Fitness Equipment UK Similar Threads Posted how do I enter T-Bill transactions?
