Cash Journal Columns

The Cash Journal report contains a standard set of columns. You do not have the option to select columns for this report. The columns on the Cash Journal vary from page to page, depending on whether the transactions listed are cash receipts or disbursements. The line immediately below the header indicates what kind of transactions appear on the page.

The header at the top of the report contains the following information:

  • Bank code and name

  • Account number and name

  • Organization number and name

The Cash Journal provides a Summary section for each bank code. That section lists the net posting to the bank (receipts minus disbursements), the opening balance, and the closing balance.
