Cash Journal 
Cash Journal
Use
The
cash journal is a subledger of Bank Accounting. It is used to manage a company's cash transactions. The system automatically calculates and displays the opening and closing balances, and the receipts and payments totals. You can run several cash journals for each company code. You can also carry out postings to G/L accounts, as well as vendor and customer accounts.
You should run a separate cash journal for each currency.
Integration
You can use the cash journal independently of other posting transactions. You can enter amounts in different currencies. In a two-step procedure, you save the entries in the cash journal before they are transferred to Financial Accounting. After this transfer, the cash journal postings correspond to the FI documents (see illustration below).
You can assign authorizations for the various activities involved in running the cash journal using authorization object F_FBCJ.
