How to record a cash sale

Record a sale paid in physical cash and keep the Cash balance accurate.

Use a cash sale when a customer pays with physical money.

Steps

  1. Open Sales.
  2. Choose Add Sale.
  3. Enter the sale amount.
  4. Select Cash as the account or payment method.
  5. Choose a category or add a note.
  6. Add inventory items if the sale should reduce stock.
  7. Save the sale.

Why this matters

A cash sale increases the expected Cash balance on your dashboard. If you choose the wrong account, your balances may look incorrect later.
