Entering "Paid Out" transactions

Q: How do I enter "paid outs", e.g. expenses paid from the cash drawer?

A: Go to Transactions / Enter Expense Transaction. Here you select the category, payment method, etc.  Note that if the cash isn't coming from the same place as where the income goes (e.g. a different "petty cash" box instead of the normal cash drawer), then you should use a different Payment Method to avoid confusing it with cash paid in.  The same applies to payments you make by check -- e.g. add a "Company check" item (through Maintenance / Pick Lists / Payment Methods) so that it doesn't look like a check received.
