You can view all your petty cash accounts on the Petty Cash summary screen.

You can add additional Petty Cash accounts and manage petty cash accounts - see more instructions here.

Recording Petty Cash income and expenditure

Petty Cash expenditure is recorded directly in the Petty Cash module, not via the Purchases screen.

Income is similarly recorded in the Petty Cash module rather than via bank reconciliation.

Access permissions for Petty Cash accounts

Access permission is granted either through the Manage User Roles screen (for all Petty Cash accounts), or per account in the Bank & Cash Account Settings screen.
