What is the primary purpose of maintaining a cash book?

How should a postdated check be classified in the accounting records of the recipient?
A postdated check cannot be cashed immediately because it bears a future date. Consequently, it does not represent immediate cash or bank liquidity. It is treated as a promise to pay at a later date, which fits the definition of an account receivable. Once the date on the check arrives, it is then converted into cash or deposited into the bank account.
