Great question, @Commheat.
If you need to create a new journal entry, here’s what to do:
- Go to the Company menu and select Make General Journal Entries.
- Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. Make sure your debits equal your credits when you’re done.
- Select Save or Save & Close.
You'll want the entry to show an increase in your Petty Cash account and a decrease in your Cash account. To show this, debit your Petty Cash account and credit your Cash account.
For further clarification on journal entries, you'll want to reach out to your accountant, as they will know your account and business best!

I'd love to know how this goes for you! Let me know what other questions you may have, I'm just a post away!
