How to Separate Cash and Bank Receipts

The operating problem

What needs to become clearer

A business may understand how to separate cash and bank receipts in principle and still handle it inconsistently while tracking customer receivables and supplier payables without losing the supporting transaction trail. The useful question is who owns separate cash and bank receipts, when it is recorded and how an exception is approved.

Recommended approach

Start with the workflow, then test the software

Map separate cash and bank receipts on paper before configuration. Ask the responsible operator to reconcile opening balances, define receipt allocation and assign a regular follow-up owner, while a second person checks the result against party statements, ageing review, receipt references and confirmed opening totals.
