The other data items for outstanding checks and deposits in transit are cash book originating entries.

The checks which are outstanding are already recorded when issued, so no adjustment is required.

The deposits in transit are already recorded when collected so no adjustment is required.

The bank service charges and interest information is only made available from the bank statement and thus has to be recorded in the cash book.
