Cash Impact

Transactions with a cash impact will impact the amount of available funds, either in your bank account or in undeposited funds. You can see cash impact using financial reports such as either the Cash Flow or the Register report.

Net Worth Impact

Most simple transactions have the same cash and net worth impact. However, for more complex accrual/debt-related transactions, the cash and net worth impact may differ. For example, a loan received will increase your cash, but since the money is still owed, it does not change your net worth.
