Hello jabessa1958,

Thanks for reaching out to Community!

You can create a cash account in the Chart of Accounts. It's the same Category type as a bank account, but you can name it Cash on Hand or Petty Cash, anything you would like to use to associate it. Here's an article that'll guide you through the process:

When entering expenses paid by cash, just choose the cash account you created in the Account field beside the Vendor's name. Here's another article for more details:
