How to use the Delivery Run
The process described here is without the benefit of the drivers app to record in real time - that will be described later. The following process must be repeated for each delivery run.
- Step 1 - Mark the run as finished. This is a simple status change.
- Step 2 - Create cash payments for all in run
- This creates a cash payment journal from debtors to undeposited cash. It also creates a debtor invoice if required and allocates to it.
- At the end of this, the debtors are zero and undeposited holds the cash.
- Step 3 - record any expenses and/or create journals for those expenses
- This step may be required even with the drivers app as recording money spent does not necessarily create a GL journal for it (depending on the account used and driver authority status).
- Money may be spent from cash, personal card, company debit card, company credit card or company other card.
- Spent cash is directly subtracted from the batch;
- personal card spends may be directly reimbursed from cash or later;
- company debit cards will be a direct entry on the bank statement; company credit card and other cards such as fuel cards need to be reconciled later.
- Step 4 - count the cash and record the individual note counts.
- Step 5 - create a discrepancy journal (if required) if the counted cash disagrees with the expected (journalled) amount, this must be reconciled now so that the amount actually banked is correct.
- Step 6 - lock the batch
