System Effects

This entry allows the cash transfer to be printed as a receipt. Receipts have to be printed for all entered transactions.

For both cash transfer methods a cash transaction and a posting of the PP1 posting type are created for the cash box cash account, and the cash account balance of the cash box cash account is updated.  A payment of the General Payment type is created.

If the Cash Transaction cash transfer method is selected a cash transaction and a PP1 posting with the reversed amounts are created for the counter cash account too. The cash balance of the counter cash account is also updated with the reversed amount.

If the Interim Posting cash transfer method is selected neither a cash transaction nor a PP1 posting are created for the counter cash account but a PP77 posting with the reversed amount is created instead. The cash balance of the counter cash account is not updated.
