Petty cash imprest system allows only to replenish the spending. So, if you start the month with $100 in your petty cash float and spend $90 of that cash in the month, an amount of $90 will be then placed in your petty cash float to bring the balance of your petty cash float back to $100. The replenishment is credited to the primary cash account and the debits will go to the respective expense accounts, based on the petty cash receipts.
