How do I manage cash due from a Scout for Wagon Sales

When Scouts record cash wagon sales, the cash will show on your dashboard under the 'Cash Owed' column. Scouts can pay that amount due via Cash to Credit or by turning it in to the leader.

As the leader, you can keep track of any cash collected from Scouts on your dashboard. 

1. Find the Scout on your leader dashboard.

2. Click the black arrow to the right of the Scout's name.

3. Choose 'Manage Cash'.

4. Click the pencil next to 'Cash due from Scout'.

5. Input the amount they turned in and click submit.

How to make a correction

In the example above, if you mistakenly enter $35 collected instead of the correct amount of $30, the system does not allow deletions and entering $30 again would add to the total, not replace the incorrect entry.

To correct the mistake, you have two options:

1. Enter -$5 in the 'Cash Due from Scout' field 
   • This reduces the amount collected, thus adjusting the overreported amount. 
2. Enter $5 in the 'Cash Adjustments' field
   • A positive cash adjustment is subtracted from the total collected or added to the Cash Due from Scout. In our example a +$5 cash adjustment will balance out the error.
   • FYI, a negative cash adjustment is subtracted from the Cash Due from Scout.
