BoosterHub Academy: 3.5 Accounting—Check Request and Cash Tally Sheet

The Check Request process enables members to submit check requests to the board. They will go to Accounting > Check Request and submit the vendor's information, or select the vendor from the pre-existing list, and provide a description of what the request is for. They will enter the amount and select the Delivery Option, by Mail or Pick-Up, and attach receipts or invoices related to the charge.

Once the member clicks Send, the request is sent to the approvals that you established in Settings > Accounting Settings. If you entered one person it will be sent to one person, if you entered two people it will be sent to those two people, and if you did not enter anyone, it will be sent directly to your Treasurer. The Check Request is a great way to reduce data entry for your Treasurer, to track approvals, and to efficiently run your check reimbursement process.

Accounting > Cash Tally Sheet is used to reconcile the funds received in the Cashbox.  When you complete an event, you will want to create a Cash Tally Sheet. You will enter the event, location, and Cashbox, and the system will know the beginning cash balance of the box based on the previous tallies. Then you will enter the number of coins and bills of each type that you have, the total amount of any checks, and then the amount you decide to retain for change for the next event. Your net deposit will then be calculated.  Click Send and it will be sent to the Treasurer.
