Cash Journal
Description
The Cash Journal report is a summary of all cash transactions and expenditures for a particular date or range of dates for a particular site or group of sites. The report shows the cash on hand, which is money received for transactions such as prepayments and cash POS transactions. Each site is displayed individually on the report. If more than one month's data is included, each month is displayed on a new page. The report includes bank deposit figures and any overage or shortage for the date or range of dates specified.
The report displays cash received from the sale of reimbursable meals for a given meal session. A la carte items display actual cash received from the sale of a la carte items per meal session. Any cash used from the customer's Account Cash or Meal Credit account is not displayed in any of the meal or A La Carte columns.
The report accounts for both Point of Sale prepayments and those entered via the computer. Expected Revenue is the sum of all cash received from all sources for a date or date range specified on the report. Expected Revenue is what the program "expects" the Bank Deposit "should" be. Expected Revenue can be viewed as "Expected Cash", which is the monetary total of all meals sold, a la carte items sold, prepayment cash received, credit repaid, and miscellaneous cash for all meal sessions. The total Miscellaneous Expense is subtracted before the Expected Revenue figure is displayed.
The Deposit column refers to the figure manually entered in the cash collected field on the Bank Deposit screen.
Note: The Total Credit Extended area is the amount of money "loaned" to customers on the date or date range specified for the report. This figure is not included in any calculations on the Cash Journal report because it does not involve cash.
When to Print this Report
The Cash Journal report can be run daily from the site after all meal sessions have ended and the Bank Deposit has been entered. The report can be run from the Central Office once communications has occurred.
