### Adding Entry
1. Click "Add Cashbook Entry" button

   - Amount
   - Warehouse (if applicable)

### Balance Calculation
- Opening balance: Set by first entry

## Technical Notes

### Transaction Types
- **Debit (Inward)**: Money received
  - Example: "Received from Design" ($1,000)
  - Example: "Balance c/f" ($40,000)
  - Increases cash balance

- **Credit (Outward)**: Money paid
  - Example: "Internet" ($400)
  - Example: "Utility bill" ($200)
  - Decreases cash balance

### Balance Formula
```
New Balance = Previous Balance + Debit Amount - Credit Amount
```

### Google Translate Implementation
- Uses Google Translate API (free version)
- Translates all text content on the page
- CSS hides all Google Translate UI elements
- JavaScript auto-triggers translation to French
- Works on all pages in the application

## Customization

### Change Default Language
Edit `/resources/views/backend/layout/main.blade.php`:
```javascript
// Change 'fr' to another language code (es, de, it, etc.)
selectField.value = 'fr';
```

### Add More Languages
Edit the `includedLanguages` parameter:
```javascript
includedLanguages: 'fr,en,es,de,it',
```

### Disable Auto-Translation
Comment out or remove this section:
```javascript
setTimeout(function() {
  var selectField = document.querySelector('.goog-te-combo');
  if(selectField) {
    if(selectField.value !== 'fr') {
      selectField.value = 'fr';
      selectField.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
    }
  }
}, 1000);
```

## Troubleshooting

### Translation Not Working
1. Check browser console for errors
2. Ensure internet connection (needs Google API)
3. Clear browser cache
4. Reload page

### Cashbook Menu Not Showing
1. Check user permissions
2. Clear Laravel cache: `php artisan cache:clear`
3. Check if logged in user has access to Accounting module

### Balance Not Calculating
1. Ensure migration ran successfully
2. Check if entries are being saved
3. Verify `recalculateBalances()` is being called in controller

## Security Considerations

1. **Permissions**: Integrate with your existing permission system
2. **Validation**: All inputs are validated server-side
3. **CSRF Protection**: All forms include CSRF tokens
4. **SQL Injection**: Using Eloquent ORM prevents SQL injection

## Future Enhancements

Potential improvements:
1. Add account categories for cashbook entries
2. Import/Export cashbook data
3. Generate cashbook reports (monthly, yearly)
4. Add PDF receipt printing
5. Integration with accounting modules
6. Multi-currency support
7. Offline translation option (store translations in database)

## Support

For issues or questions:
1. Check Laravel logs: `/storage/logs/laravel.log`
2. Check browser console for JavaScript errors
3. Verify database configuration in `.env` file
4. Ensure all dependencies are installed: `composer install`
