Trust Portal - Cash Box Overview

Under the Cash Box section of the Trust Portal, you see the following details:

  • Opening Balance is the amount of cash available for the trust.

  • Transactions Total is the amount of transactions made by residents associated to the trust account.

  • Current Balance is the opening balance minus the transactions total. It is the amount of cash the facility has currently on hand.

The Cash Box controls a facility's cash on hand for residents with trust accounts. The Cash Box should be used for recording only withdrawal transactions. When a resident withdraws money from trust petty cash, an entry must be made in the Cash Box within the Trust Portal. Use the Cash Box Reference Number link to open the Cash Box to enter withdrawal transactions, to view existing transactions, and to close and replenish the Cash Box.

  • Never place Cash deposits in the Trust Cash Box. Always deposit cash in the bank account.

  • When you replenish the Cash Box, write a check payable to the bank to obtain the funds to replenish the Cash Box.

  • To correct a cash box entry, enter a new transaction to counteract the original incorrect entry. For example, if a withdrawal is made incorrectly, enter a deposit transaction type with the same information.

  • Set up a withdrawal correction as an item type, which becomes selectable in the description field.

  • You must have R/A/E/D permissions assigned to your security role to perform this function.
