Color Status on Lists

Posted documents are marked by color:

✍️ 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.

⚡ 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
