What is cash application?

Cash application is the process of reconciling or applying cash payments received from customers to open accounts receivable (AR) invoices that may be maintained in a subledger. Accountants must apply cash, received through POS systems, bank accounts, and other methods to receivables transactions to close open receivables transactions. Cash payments may be made in increments by invoice or by groups of invoices which makes the process of applying cash complex.
