Deposit
In accounting, a payment is an inflow of cash into the cash balance . Payment is a complementary term .
General
The terms deposit and withdrawal belong to the level of means of payment (it considers flows ). A deposit increases the cash balance ( cash in hand , bank balances and checks ), but not necessarily also the financial assets , which also include short-term receivables and liabilities . Incoming and outgoing payments are offset against cash flow and have an effect on liquidity .
Delimitation of payment / income
Payments and receipts are always identical if both the cash and cash equivalents change. Here, the business transaction involving the cash sale of goods brings about a match between payments and receipts, because the cash balance and thus also the financial assets increase:
Zahlungsmittelbestand (+) + Forderungen (0) - Verbindlichkeiten (0) = Geldvermögen (+)
The customer credit by prepayment causes a mismatch of deposits and receipts. The early payment by the customer before delivery leads to the payment by increasing the cash balance and the increase in liabilities , the income is only made through the later sales-effective delivery:
Zahlungsmittelbestand (+) + Forderungen (0) - Verbindlichkeiten (+) = Geldvermögen (0)
Income without income occurs when the cash balance is increased and is associated with a decrease in receivables or an increase in liabilities. This includes the repayment of a loan by the debtor , whereby the creditor receives means of payment and can write off his credit claim. Non- cash income arises from business transactions that do not affect the cash balance (e.g. the sale of finished products on payment terms ).
Delimitation of payment / income
Payment and income are identical if the cash inflow is offset by an income item in the income statement . If, for example, vehicles in the vehicle fleet are sold by cash payment , the payment and income are the same. Payments and income are not identical if, for example, a write-up is made to the fixed assets ; there is no payment against it.
