Paying out on invoices ???

[Tiggy]

Hi I run a pub and use the invoicing for daily sheets of cash taken but if I've done a paid out for something that day on quick books I just put a minus in front of my entry but can't seem to do this with sage. How do I go about this ?? Please Help

I suggest that you use invoicing for invoicing... perhaps using invoices for other things is a quirk in Quick Books.

The way to handle cash is to set up a cash "bank" account
in a retail establishment this would typically represent the till (or tills).

At the end of each day you would enter the z total(s) off the till(s) as "bank receipts" against the till/cash account and going to the various nominal codes for the different types of income recorded.

Any expenditure from the till/cash accounts would be entered as "bank payments"

Any money banked would be recorded as a bank transfer from the till/cash account to the main bank account.

The balance that sage shows on the cash/till account should match what you have in the till.
