Why M-PESA sales should be recorded separately from cash
A sale paid through M-PESA is not the same as a sale paid in physical cash. If M-PESA sales are recorded as Cash, both balances can look wrong.
For example, if a customer pays KSh 1,000 by M-PESA but the sale is recorded as Cash, Cash may look KSh 1,000 too high and M-PESA may look KSh 1,000 too low.
