Why we rebuilt the cash book

Receipts, payments and journals now share one screen, one allocation model and one set of keyboard habits.

The cash book used to be three screens that happened to sit near each other. Receipts, payments and journals each had their own allocation panel, their own shortcuts, and their own opinion about what a line meant.

One model

They now share one. An allocation is an allocation whether it settles a customer invoice, a supplier bill or a contra between the two — and the same keyboard habits work across all three.

What you will notice

  • Allocation is paginated, so a customer with four hundred open invoices is usable.
  • Cross-currency settlement computes the realised difference on the spot.
  • An advance shows as an advance, not as an unexplained credit.

Existing entries were not migrated or rewritten. They render through the new screen unchanged.
