How do I enter our businesses cash on hand ? I’ve tried to enter it under the bank section in chart of accounts but it gives an error message. Help anyone explain steps?

Welcome to the Community,  Ar-carden.

To enter your business's cash on hand in QuickBooks Online, ensure that the Account name is not already in use. To resolve this issue, you can try using a different name.

Before we proceed, could you please provide the error message you received? It can help us identify and address it efficiently.

Here's how to enter a new cash on hand in QBO:

1. Go back to the Chart of accounts.
2. Tick the New account.
3. Enter the New petty cash name in the Account name field.
4. From the Account Type dropdown, select Bank.
5. In the Detail Type dropdown, pick Cash on hand.
6. Then click Save.
