Navigate to Bank Deposits

Adjust Deposit Amount for Petty Cash

Determine:

  • The amount to remain in the drawer (e.g., $100)

Subtract both amounts from the total cash on hand to calculate the correct deposit amount.

Enter a clear explanation for the difference (e.g., “Purchased postage for $25”).

Verify the system reflects the cash difference.

Open the saved deposit to confirm:

  • Deposited amount

  • Cash left in the drawer

  • Recorded difference

  • Notes explaining the difference

Click Close when finished.
