For entities that are not on USAS there are two provisions on the Web-GAAP system to enter the information:
Enter Cash information manually in the Cash Journal Entry option. See Procedures for Manual Cash Entry.
Create an input file off of the entity's accounting system to be uploaded into Web-GAAP. See Input Record Format for Cash Upload.
For those entities that are on USAS see USAS Year-end Procedures.
...
Select one of the following for the Cash Journals:
Add Cash Balance
Add Expense
Add Receipt
There are different data requirements for these. See Cash Journal Entry for detailed explanation.
...
The input records are to be TAB Delimited. The records must conform to the following rules:
Text fields, which contain spaces or lowercase characters, should be surrounded by double quotes ("").
Numeric fields must contain numeric digits, an explicit decimal point (.) and a leading negative sign if applicable. If a sign character is not included in the field, it is assumed positive. Dollar amount values must be in the range (+/-) 9,999,999,999.99. If the last two places are zero value, .00 must be entered.
The records must be in the order listed below: fund record first "AF" and then the cash record "CT". Do not duplicate the field names.

| ORIG_BUDGET | I | Original Budget | Dollar Amount | # |
| REVISED_BUDGET | J | Revised Budgeted Amount | Dollar Amount | # |

| CURRENT_ENCUMB | M | Current Encumbrances | Dollar Amount | # |
| EXP_AGNST_ENCUMB | N | Expenditures Against Prior Year Encumbrances | Dollar Amount | # |
# = Numeric data must be entered in the range (+/-) 9,999,999,999.99.
It should be noted Web-GAAP is not designed to support the former budgetary reporting option of offsetting expenditures against prior year encumbrances against actual expenditures given the GASB 34 requirements for including encumbrances that automatically roll forward as part of the original budget and therefore the final budget. To demonstrate legal compliance, the actual amounts of revenues and expenditures reported in the budgetary comparisons should be presented using the same budgetary basis of accounting used to present both the original and the final amended budget.
See USAS Chart of Accounts for a further explanation of the above mentioned information.
