Yes, the term "petty cash" has traditionally had a different meaning. In
a very small business, might actually be currency but in a large one
likely its own bank account. And a subsidiary set of books. The idea was
to reduce the load on the treasurer/chief accountant and not clutter the
main books with trivial detail.
In the petty cash books would be each transaction, each box of pencils,
box of reams of paper, flowers for the boss's reception room, etc. Then
say once a month the petty cash account would be "refreshed" with the
total spent and each category of expense closed to the main books. Thus
the parent "office supplies", "postage", etc. and not each box of
pencils or roll of stamps.
