Cash Journal Entry Dialog Box

If you use cash-basis accounting, use this dialog box to create a cash-basis journal entry for all the cleared company-paid charges on the Charges tab of the Credit Card Statement Reconciliation form, for a statement that is completely reconciled.

This dialog box is visible only if cash-basis reporting is enabled in Settings > General Ledger > Options. This dialog box is not visible if the selected credit card is employee-paid.

Ideally, you create the journal entry as the last step before you close a reconciled statement. If you create and post a journal entry before all charges are reconciled, the journal entry will be missing some amounts. If you then create and post additional journal entries for a statement, this produces overstated amounts because the repeated journal entries include all cleared charges, not just the previously uncleared charges.
