Before you can create a cash account, you must enable the Cash Accounts tab. Click below the left navigation pane, check the box for , and click Update. You will see the Cash Accounts tab added to the left navigation pane.
Name the account so it will be recognizable. The name could include a description, a store’s location, or a clerk’s name.
Code allows you to set the order in which cash accounts are listed. Enter a number. If blank, accounts will display in alphabetical order.
Currency options will be available if you have set a base currency. By default, cash accounts are undenominated. That is, they are assumed to be in your native currency, whatever that is. But if you plan to use multiple currencies, or just want your currency symbol to appear on forms and reports, set a base currency. (Go to Settings Base Currency, select a base currency in the dropdown box and click Update.) Cash accounts will then automatically be denominated in your base currency. Change the selection for a specific cash account in its Currency dropdown box.
The Inactive box appears only after an account is created. It can be checked if the account is closed. (Cash accounts cannot be deleted from Manager if they have any past transactions, because doing so would eliminate the records of those transactions and affect active Balance Sheet accounts.) If the box is checked, the cash account will not appear in lists for transactions in the Cash Transactions tab. The account will be greyed out in the Cash Accounts tab listing. Edit it to restore to active status.
Of course, you can also view individual cash account balances directly in the Cash Accounts tab.
If you are migrating to Manager from another accounting system and have a balance in a cash account on your start date, enter a starting balance as described in this Guide.
