Journals and Cashbooks

Use this guide when reviewing posted accounting activity and reconciling cash, bank, till, or mobile-money movement.

Review journal entries

  1. From the main Acel dashboard, click Accounting.
  2. Click Journals.
  3. Start at the top of the list. The newest journal entries appear first.
  4. Use the search or filter box if you need a specific source document number, receipt reference, or posting date.
  5. Click the journal entry row you want to inspect.
  6. Review the journal records. Debit lines should appear before credit lines.
  7. Confirm Debit Total and Credit Total are equal.
  8. Check Source Document Type, Source Document Number, and reference fields to trace the entry back to the invoice, receipt, POS settlement, expense, or other workflow that created it.

Use cashbook-style review

  1. In Accounting, click Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find the money account you want to review, such as Cash, Bank, Till, Mobile Money, or Petty Cash.
  3. Confirm the account is an Asset account and allows posting.
  4. Click Journals.
  5. Search or filter for that cash, bank, till, or mobile-money account.
  6. Review debit entries as money coming into that account.
  7. Review credit entries as money going out of that account.
  8. For transfers, click the transfer journal entry and confirm the destination money account is debited and the source money account is credited.
  9. Use the journal source/reference fields as the audit trail back to the original receipt, payout, expense, or transfer.

Verify the accounting trail

  1. Click the source document link or navigate to the source screen shown on the journal entry, such as an invoice, collection receipt, POS settlement, or expense.
  2. Confirm the amount and reference match the journal entry.
  3. Return to Journals and confirm the entry remains balanced.

A clean cashbook helps users understand daily cash and bank movement, but the ledger-backed journal is what keeps financial reports consistent across invoices, collections, POS, expenses, and future reconciliation.
