Permission required: Cashbook – Create & edit transactions

What is this?

With Add account you set up a new account in the cash book. Every entry belongs to exactly one account, so you need at least one account before you can record entries.

There are two types:

  • Bank account — a current account or other account at a bank, with IBAN and bank
  • Cash box — cash, such as the club's petty cash

How to create an account

  1. Open Ensembles, choose your choir and go to Cash book > Accounts.
  2. Click Add account at the top right.
  3. Choose the type: Bank account or Cash box.
  4. Enter a name, for example “Club account” or “Concert cash box”.
  5. For bank accounts, optionally: enter the IBAN and Bank.
  6. Enter the opening balance (required).
  7. Optionally: add Notes.
  8. Click Add. The account appears as a card right away.

Setting the opening balance correctly

  • New account: €0
  • Existing account, you are starting with Theatilo now: the balance according to your bank on the start date
  • Cash box: the counted cash on the start date

Check the value carefully, because it cannot be changed later.

Permission

You need Create & edit transactions. By default, the permission groups Administrator and Moderator have it.

Tips

  • Create all accounts first, before you import entries. Otherwise, rows with an unknown account end up on the default account during the import.
  • Connect a bank account: With the banking add-on you will then find Connect bank in the card’s ··· menu.

Frequently asked questions

Which type do I choose for our club account?▾
Choose **Bank account**. Only bank accounts can be connected to the bank later. For cash, such as the till at the concert entrance, choose **Cash box**.
What do I enter as the opening balance?▾
The balance of the account on the day you start recording entries in Theatilo. All later balances are calculated from this value. Once the account has been created, the opening balance can no longer be changed.
Can I change the type later?▾
No. The type (bank account or cash box) is fixed once the account has been created. You can change the name, IBAN, bank and notes at any time.
