How do I generate a detailed cash book? My account tells me it is a record of all receipts and payments in a given financial year.

Hello, AVersfeld. I'm here to guide you on how you can generate the cash book in QuickBooks.

Generating a cash book in QuickBooks will provide you with a detailed breakdown of all your receipts and payments, including any bank balances and transfers. You can use this information to reconcile your records with bank statements and keep your books current. Regularly generating a cash book report in QuickBooks lets you stay on top of your finances and make informed decisions about your business.

Here's how to generate a detailed cash book:

1. Click on the Transactions tab and choose Chart of Accounts.
2. Select the Bank account, then choose Run report under the Account history dropdown.
3. Tap the Customise and filter the information you need.
4. Hit Run report.

This will give you a detailed record of all cash book transactions during the specified period, including each account's debits, credits, and balances. Reviewing this information will give you valuable insights into the financial activity during that period and make informed decisions based on the data presented.
