For entities that are not on USAS there are two provisions on the Web-GAAP system to enter the information:

  1. Enter Cash information manually in the Cash Journal Entry option.  See Procedures for Manual Cash Entry.

  2. Create an input file off of the entity's accounting system to be uploaded into Web-GAAP.  See Input Record Format for Cash Upload.

The procedures outlined below are for Cities and Counties, developed by SSDT on behalf of the Auditor of State.

...

Select one of the following for the Cash Journals:

  1. Add Cash Balance

  2. Add Expense

  3. 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:

  1. Text fields, which contain spaces or lowercase characters, should be surrounded by double quotes ("").

  2. 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.

  3. The records need to be in order: AD (Department Code), AF (Fund Code) and finally CT (Cash Transaction) as shown below.  Do not duplicate field names.

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.
