If your council does not use petty cash (i.e. the opening balance is £0 and no petty cash transactions have been entered throughout the year), you can disable it in Scribe Accounts.

Steps to Disable Petty Cash

  1. Navigate to Setup → Bank Balances.
  2. Click the three dots (⋮) → Edit next to Petty Cash.
  3. Untick the 'Active' box.
  4. Click Save to apply the changes.

What Happens After Disabling Petty Cash?

  • The Petty Cash option will no longer appear as a tender type when recording transactions.
  • Petty Cash will no longer be included within the Reconcile All Banks report.

If you need to re-enable Petty Cash in the future, simply follow the same steps and tick the 'Active' box.
