Cash Management is an easy-to-use tool that lets you view and track cash transactions generated in Sage Timberline Accounting's Accounts Payable, Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Job Cost and Property Management applications and reconcile them with your companies bank statements and general ledger. What's more, Cash Management also simultaneously tracks your register and bank balances, giving you a simple way to stay on top of your cash flow and ensure that accounts are funded at optimum levels.

Cash Management also contains a number of features designed to help you maintain the integrity of your books. For example, you can enter new transactions, such as deposits, withdrawals and adjustments directly into Cash Management and create corresponding general ledger transactions at the same time. Unposted transactions entered into Cash Management can be easily edited. Transactions created elsewhere in Sage Timberline Accounting are edited at their originating source, Which ensures reconciliation across applications. Finally, you can limit which applications have access to specific accounts, which helps prevent the accidental misuse of accounts.
Cash Management allows for intercompany and control bank accounting, and can also receive cleared cheques information from banks electronically. For added convenience, it's possible to suspend a reconciliation in progress and save your work, so that you can go and do something else, and then return to the task later without having to start from scratch. To make things even easier, the application features a spreadsheet style grid and a Set-up Assistant, which walks you through the bank account set up process and confirms that accounts balance before you begin posting transactions.
Following is a detailed list of features Cash Management offer that will help you keep your company's books accurate and balanced.
