Accounting best practice question

[Eric Ladner]

Ah.. light dawns.  Since I'm not using an actual trackable transaction
when I'm getting paid back in cash (usually they are small items.. <
100 bucks), I couldn't figure out what to do with the entry.  I'll
just treat the cash like I do an ATM withdrawl that goes into the
"cash in pocket" or whatever it's called.

Thanks!
