Presentation
Code and title
The identification basis key of the petty cash is its code, entered on 1 to 5 alphanumerical characters.
The title, which should be descriptive, is used by default on the reports, search windows and entry masks. It is replaced by the short title whenever the display or printing constraints require it.
Accounting characteristics
The attachment site and/or company of the petty cash are first identified, then the petty cash journal is identified, the BP code representing the petty cash (accessible if the petty cash journal account is a collective account), then the management currency of the petty cash and the applicable exchange rate type to value the payments.
Currency
This field cannot be assigned: it is automatically entered from the currency in which the general account associated with the petty cash is kept, or by default, from the local currency.
The petty cash currency determines the transaction currency of those operations posted on this petty cash so as to facilitate petty cash controls and the valuation of the petty cash kept in foreign currency when closing the fiscal year.
Payments issued in a currency other than the book-keeping currency generate an automatic inter-currency link posting.

Error messages
In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :
"Mandatory field"
Any petty cash must necessarily be attached at least to a company, even a site.
The definition of a petty cash journal is compulsory as well.
Similarly, whenever the contra account of the petty cash journal is a collective account, the entry of the BP code identifying the petty cash is mandatory.
"This is not a miscellaneous BP"
Since the petty cash entries can be posted on a collective account, the selected code/BP account that identifies the petty cash must necessarily concern a miscellaneous type BP, and not a supplier, customer etc. type.
