# Prepare a verified cash receipt

Interactive synthetic form walkthrough. Demonstrates preparation and review; no save, send, access change or payment is submitted.

Source: real components from c62c6ec1, synthetic fixtures. Computer-generated narration with captions; timing follows the spoken steps. No completed server action is represented.

## 1. Confirm the exact school and record

This uses the real app editor with synthetic training records. Check the school, family or employee before changing a field.

## 2. Use the correct receipt type

Open Cash payment only for cash actually received. This is not a substitute for a pending card or ACH payment.

## 3. Enter the receipt evidence

Use the verified amount and unique receipt reference. Check recent activity for an existing entry.

## 4. Review the received date and notes

Use the actual received date in school time. Preserve enough detail for reconciliation.

## 5. Review before saving

After an authorized save, verify one payment entry, the balance and any invoice allocation. No cash payment is recorded here.
