Set Cash Balance

The Set Cash Balance window allows you to specify a beginning cash on-hand amount.  The entered amount is then used to help you verify the post-transaction cash you should have in your possession.

The application's cash tracking features are intended simply as an aid to you; to help you track the amount of company money you have on hand.  The official tally of cash is expected to be maintained by someone in your bookkeeping department.

A beginning cash balance amount is sent to your device during each synchronization with the server.  After a synchronization, the sent value is the value displayed here.  Changes to the synchronized value should only be made when adjustments are absolutely necessary.

For cash tracking purposes, the DPS PocketFlash™ application considers a check to also be cash.
