Cash Bag Journal

The Cash Bag Journal report is designed for companies that provide cash for their vehicle drivers to purchase goods during their job. These purchases are recorded in the Autos module on the Expense tab.

Using the settings at the top of the report, select:

• Vehicle – chose a company vehicle from the dropdown list
• Start Date – choose a date to show transactions entered on or after this date
• End Date – choose an ending date to show purchases made on or before the date
  

The report itself shows:

• Vehicle ID – the name of the vehicle as listed in the Autos module
• Date – the date of the purchase
• Description – the description as defined by the vehicle driver
• Payee – the name of the company where the driver made the purchase
• Category – the reason the driver made the purchase
• Amount – the total amount of the transaction
• Current Balance – at the bottom of the report displays how much money is remaining in the cash bag
