Transaction Entry
Unlimited bank accounts
While a lot of systems limit users to one bank account in the cashbook, CashManager enables you to set up as many bank accounts as you need to effectively record all of your business transactions.
Transaction types
CashManager has 4 standard transaction types you can select when entering transactions into your cashbook.
EFT is also available if you want to transfer direct payment authorities to your bank via banking software.Changing Transaction types
If transactions are entered incorrectly, they can be moved to another bank account or the transaction type can be changed with a click of your right mouse button.
You can also use the EDIT option from the transaction screen above.

Entering Transactions
Transaction fields
Simply complete the Date; Ref; Payee/Drawer; Account; Amount and Details fields for the transaction you are entering.
Easysearch on Payee
Click the Easysearch button in the Payee/Drawer field to access your CashManager Names file. Every new name used in the cashbook will be added to this Names file for future use.
Dissecting transactions
Transactions can be dissected and allocated to different accounts in your chart of accounts using the ADD option that appears on every transaction entry screen.
Enter-As-Tab option
For those who are used to using the ENTER key to move between fields, CashManager can be set up to accommodate this. The default setting is to use the TAB key to move through the data entry fields.
Chart of Accounts
Easysearch on Account
Easysearch is also available on the Account field in the transaction entry screen. You can select the relevant account from your chart to apply to the transaction.
Chart of Accounts in CashManager
The chart of accounts in CashManager is completely customisable and can be defined by either the User or the accountant.
Each account code has an appropriate GST category, Account Name and Reporting category (if using budgeting).
A code in the accountants chart can also be added to the account, to enable transaction mapping when exporting data to a practice accounting system.

Bank Reconciliation – Step 1 & 2
Bank Reconciliation Wizard
Reconciliation Wizard
This is the first of 2 methods for reconciling bank accounts in CashManager. It requires that you have a bank statement printout in front of you before starting the reconciliation.
Step 1
By simply recording the Closing balance and Date of the closing balance, you can then move to step 2 where the ticking of transaction begins.
You can confirm that your last bank reconciliation is in order by verifying the opening balance on the bank statement with the opening balance showing on the screenStep 2
You can now simply tick the transactions in your cashbook that appear on your bank statement. The left mouse button is used to tick the transactions. During ticking-off, you may find it easier to re-sort the transactions on the screen.
Editing transactions
For transactions that require editing, you can simply right mouse click on the transaction and either edit the transaction or change it to an appropriate transaction type.
The right mouse click is also used to add transactions from the bank statement that don’t appear in your cashbook. For Example: Interest received or Bank Charges.
Bank Reconciliation – Step 3
Bank Reconciliation Wizard
Congratulations! Your cashbook is now reconciled with your bank statement.
Step 3
Once all of your transactions are ticked off against your bank statement, you can then view and print a reconciliation report. This report includes a list of your unpresented cheques and deposits (if any exist).
Out of Balance!
If your reconciliation doesn’t balance it will be because you ticked an incorrect amount, or overlooked an item on the bank statement. Printing the Pro Forma bank statement makes finding this error a breeze.
In Balance!
Once you have completed the ticking off process and CashManager indicates that you are “In Balance”, the reconciliation will be finalised.
Importing Bank Statements
Bank Statement import
Importing bank statement transactions into CashManager
This is the second method for reconciling your bank accounts within CashManager. By signing up with your banks Internet banking service, you can export bank statement transactions from their website, and import them into CashManager to auto-reconcile your bank accounts and auto-generate the transactions in the cashbook.
Your bank
CashManager accommodates bank statement files from all major trading banks throughout Australia. Each of those available in CashManager have a transaction export facility on their website.
Overlapping transaction files
The date ranges for the bank statement import must be consecutive to ensure that transactions are not duplicated when imported. CashManager provides a warning should this occur. The date of the last import is shown on the first screen of the import wizard
Where did you save that file?
CashManager remembers where you looked for that transaction file last time so you don’t need to spend time searching for the file you wish to import.
Bank Statement import
This method of reconciling your bank accounts provides you with the ability to perform simple or detailed allocations on any transaction you are importing into CashManager. These allocation methods can eliminate time consuming data-entry and mean you can complete your reconciliations quicker.
CashManager Reports
CashManager Reports
CashManager Reports
CashManager offers a range of cashbook reports that can be generated by the user. The ease with which it takes to create these reports, and their clarity make them a key benefit of CashManager.
Each report comes with a range of options that filter the data that is presented in the reports, enabling you to define the reports to your requirements and those of your accountant.
Exporting Reports to other programs
All CashManager reports can be exported to other programs such as Word and Excel. Simply select the report you wish to export, and right mouse click on the print button. The report will be saved as a text file which can then be opened in Excel or Word.
This is great if you need to perform additional calculations on the CashManager data.

This is the report that your accountant will find most helpful.
Summary Cashbook Report
Account Details reportAccount Details Report
This report prints all transactions for a specified range of accounts from your chart of accounts. All transactions are listed, with the deposit amounts shown as negatives to show that they are credits.

BAS Worksheet
BAS Worksheet
BAS Worksheet
The BAS Worksheet prints the calculation sheet in a format similar to the worksheet form supplied by the Australian Tax Office. There is also a summary in the same form as the new short form BAS.
After you have checked the report and GST Audit Trail, you can simply copy the totals onto the form supplied by the ATO.
Closing your GST period
After running the BAS Worksheet, you will be asked if you wish to “close” that GST period. Closing the period means that the amounts of all transactions in that period cannot be altered, and no more transactions can be entered for that period. This is an important control in maintaining the accuracy of future BAS Worksheets.
BAS Audit Trail
BAS Worksheet Audit Trail
BAS Worksheet Audit Trail
The BAS Audit Trail is part of the BAS Worksheet, and lists all transactions during the period that make up each of the totals on the return. The report is broken up into the various categories that appear in the report. Any transaction that has a non-standard GST component, is highlighted with a hash symbol (#) enabling quick resolution of any GST issues.
It is this report that ATO auditors will be most interested in.
Monthly Analysis Report

Supplier Invoicing
Supplier Invoicing
Supplier Invoicing
Supplier invoicing in CashManager is much like the Customer Invoicing, although in this case you are allocating Supplier invoices to expenses within your chart of accounts. Supplier invoicing is not product driven, but allows you to enter a basic description of each Product/Service purchased.
Unlimited Suppliers
There is no limit to the number of Suppliers you can set-up in CashManager. Each new Supplier must have a default expense account from your chart of accounts to ensure that the payment of the invoice in the cashbook, is allocated appropriately.Auto-paying Supplier Invoices
CashManager provides a Pay option on the main Supplier invoicing screen. This can be used to pay multiple invoices for a Supplier and to transfer the payment to your cashbook at the same time. This eliminates double ups with data-entry.
Part-payments
Part-payments for Supplier invoices can be completed using the Select Invoices option that appears on every transaction entry screen in the cashbook.
