It is possible for you to verify the transaction by attaching a support document. And secondly, it is possible for you to record and post cheque you write through a chequebook. The system can also smoothly handle the transfer of funds from one cash account to another.

You can examine the cash balance report to verify the balances of your account to determine if you need to make a transfer, and you can also check to see if there are sufficient funds.

You may also receive payments, accumulating them in an account for later deposit. At this point you can create a “deposit slip” on the system, which posts the amounts of the deposits
