Petty Cash Deposit - Cash Only

Hello Farmgirlkent69, 

In Quickbooks, you will need to create a dedicated account in the chart of accounts for your petty cash. 

The way to add this account is if you go to the accounting tab, on left-hand side>chart of accounts>new top right> account type leave as cash at bank and in hand - detail type will be cash in hand- name whatever you need to call it like petty cash> save and close. 

Then and transactions you up into Quickbooks like for example man expense and it was suing the petty cash you can now show that the money came from there.  

Many thanks for this. I’ve already set up petty cash in the chart of accounts with opening balance. I have been using petty cash to post my transactions. What I’m not sure how to do is show money going into petty cash which has not come from the bank account. The money going into petty cash is from donations and keeps petty cash topped up every week. 

How is it that people can't write sentences that make sense? What are you trying to say??

I use an external app that send payment. But for payment method: cash, can not be automatically deposited into the petty cash account. 

Is there a set up how to make quickbook recognizes the payment method of cash and use the petty cash account automatically. ? 

If i use bank rule , will it recognize it .. or the bank rule is only for adding new transactions automatically and not to categorize them only .

Hi KalRe, thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community. Where is the app allocating the payment within QuickBooks?
