Cash Disbursements As noted above, Mary opens the rnail and separates and logs the cash receipts and the invoices to be paid. Invoices are filed in alphabetical order by due date. Each Thursday, Mary pulls the invoices that are due that week and types three-part checks. The checks, along with the invoices, are given to Ed for his approval and signature. After Ed signs the checks, Mary mails the original, files the second copy in check number order, and attaches the third copy to the invoice. She then enters the check in the cash disbursement journal and the accounts payable subsidiary ledger. The third copy of the check and the attached invoice are filed alphabetically by vendor name
