Overview     

The Default to Current Date setting in SchoolCash Accounting ensures deposits are posted using today’s date. This helps prevent backdated or future-dated deposits and keeps reporting accurate.


Before you begin  


  • Only a District User can enable this setting in Program Maintenance > Account Settings.
  • Once enabled, the setting applies to all schools and bank accounts in the district.


How the Setting Works

  • When you add a deposit in the Ledger, the date automatically defaults to today’s date.
  • If you enter a past or future date, a message appears indicating the date was updated to today’s date.
  • If needed, you can adjust the date using the calendar before clicking OK. The selected date appears on the Ledger and in reports.

Steps

  1. From the Main Menu, go to Program Maintenance.
  2. Click Account Settings.
  3. Select Enable default to current date when posting deposits.
  4. Click Save.

Outcome

Deposits default to today’s date across the district, improving reporting accuracy and reducing accidental backdating.

Troubleshooting

  • Users can still backdate a deposit.
  • Confirm the setting is enabled in Account Settings and that changes were saved.
