1000 Cash on Hand

The default ledger account for physical cash: petty cash, the till, a cash drawer.

In Solo Superstars

Add a bank account of type cash and it pairs with this ledger account. Cash sales at a market or a petty-cash box are recorded here, not in Checking.

Example

A $60 cash sale at a pop-up: debit 1000 Cash on Hand 60, credit 4000 Sales of Product Income 60.
