  4. Enter the Petty Cash ID, Value Date and Status. Input the Value Data as Less than or Equal To the Receipt Date you input in the Incoming Payment.
  5. Choose Export To Microsoft Excel.

Value Date is the Posting Date of Incoming Cash Transfer. Ensure that the Status of the Payments is Confirmed.
