A term associated with petty cash. Replenish means to return the amount of actual cash in the petty cash box back to the amount appearing in the general ledger account Petty Cash. This is done whenever the amount of actual cash in the petty cash box is low and at the end of each accounting period. A check is written on the company’s main checking account for the needed amount. This will be a credit to Cash. The petty cash vouchers (receipts, documentation) determine the general ledger accounts to be debited. Any difference in the amounts of debits and credits goes to the income statement account Cash Short and Over.

"I cannot think of another program that I have seen that has given me access to this type of both current and relevant accounting situations. My goal is to prepare myself to return to the workforce and the AccountingCoach program is certainly refurbishing my skill set, providing the confidence that I was hoping to have to be successful. This is so good that I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to solidify their skills or just wants to have access to an enormous library of accounting questions and solutions. Thank you AccountingCoach." - Vincent A.
