Cash accounting: the kassa
The kassa is the company’s physical cash, kept separately from the bank (account 5010). Each day the cashier closes the shift: expected balance = opening + sales + deposits − expenses − bank deposits − refunds; the counted amount is compared with the expected one, and the difference becomes a shortage or a surplus.

Cash operations
- Cash sales — revenue and cash in.
- Cash expenses — with a document (receipt, cash voucher).
- Bank deposits / withdrawals — moves between the till and the bank; neither income nor expense.
- Customer refunds — reduce revenue and output VAT.
- Shortage / surplus — after a confirmed count.
End-of-day closing
How it works in Centa
- The kassa is a separate cash account; Overview shows money as “bank + physical cash” side by side.
- Bank statements never land in the kassa.
- A closing difference becomes a question in Attention; the shortage or surplus is posted only after a person decides.
- A Z-report can be stored as a photo; figures are read by recognition only when it is configured, otherwise a person types them.
Cash, bank and documents in one set of books — that is how Centa AI accounting software works.
