Overview

The Cash Receipts Journal is where all incoming checks or payments are entered.


 

Key Concepts

The Cash Receipts Journal makes assumptions on debits and credits. It assumes the detail amount is a credit. When you enter a positive amount, it is saved behind the scenes as a negative (a credit).
