Cash Documents (KP/KW)
This page describes the complete cash document process: issuing KP and KW documents, posting them, and reviewing posted documents.
⚙️ How to Enable the Module
Cash documents are available after the extension is configured. Make sure that:
- the Journal Template and Journal Batch are completed in Cash Document Setup,
- at least one cash register exists,
- the user has the
N24CMG CASH MGMTpermission set.
📋 Cash Document Lists
The module provides four document lists:
| Page | Description |
|---|---|
| Cash Receipts | List of unposted KP documents. |
| Cash Withdrawals | List of unposted KW documents. |
| Posted Cash Receipts | Archive of posted KP documents. |
| Posted Cash Withdrawals | Archive of posted KW documents. |
Color Status on Lists
Posted documents are marked by color:
- 🟢 Green — assigned to a cash report.
- 🔴 Red — not assigned to a cash report.
Red documents require review because they may indicate a gap in cash reporting.

✍️ How Document Creation Works
Step 1 — Select a Cash Register
When you create a new KP/KW document, the system first checks the register assigned in User Setup. If none is assigned, it opens the cash register selection window.

Step 2 — Enter Data
- Enter the payer or payee name.
- Check the document and posting dates.
- Complete the account type, account number, and amount on the document line.
Step 3 — Post the Document
Select Post. The system validates the data, creates general journal entries, and assigns the posted document to the open cash report. If no report exists, the system creates one.
🚫 Validations
| Situation | System behavior |
|---|---|
| KW exceeds the current cash balance | Error; the document cannot be posted. |
| Posting date is earlier than document date | Warning; confirmation is required. |
| No cash register is selected | Error; select a register before continuing. |

⚡ Automatic KP/KW Creation from Invoices
The system creates cash documents when posting sales and purchase invoices if the payment method is linked to a cash register and a cash register is specified.
| Invoice Type | Created Document |
|---|---|
| Sales invoice | KP, cash received from the customer |
| Sales order with invoicing | KP |
| Purchase invoice | KW, cash paid to the vendor |
| Purchase order with invoicing | KW |
| Sales credit memo or sales return order | KW, cash returned to the customer |
The created document is assigned to the open cash report. If no report exists, the system creates one.

🔍 Actions on the Document
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Post | Posts the document and assigns it to a cash report. |
| View Posted | Opens posted KP/KW documents for the register. |
| View Cash Register | Opens the linked cash register card. |
| Prints the KP/KW document using the selected report. |

🔄 Foreign-Currency Exchange Rate Adjustment
For foreign-currency registers, you can edit Currency Factor before posting. The system converts the foreign amount to the local currency using the selected rate.
