To add a cash
item in the MacNail construction accounting software:
1. Make a cash item
for petty cash
expenses that do not involve a check but that
you want to include in your job costing.
2. Go through steps 1 to 4 above.
3. A row (or several rows) will be added at the
selected location. The proper formulas will be added, and the label
'cash' will be filled into the check no column.
4. Notice that the running total column for cash
items is in italic. This is to remind you that cash items will not
affect your running balance, and will not be used when reconciling
your account. Cash items will
be used for job costing.
NOTE-- Goldenseal construction
accounting software replaced MacNail in 2000. It's an
integrated program that includes general accounting,
job costing, payroll and project billing, plus
estimating and
other features.
It uses Banking Transactions, which are similar
to the rows in a Ledger.
To split a payout:split payoutspayouts, split

category. You only need to split a payout if it is a cost type that is being job costed from the Ledger.

for it, drag down through the number of rows you would like to add.

4. Notice that each new item has the same check number as the original row chosen. Type information
into each one as you would normally.
