Import Transactions

This feature has the potential to save considerable time and frustration in the day-to-day task of entering cashbook transactions. You only need to do it once to get the hang of it, though you might refer to these instructions again!
 
Please refer to How to Import Bank Statements.
 

Edit transaction

To edit a transaction

 

Editing a transaction that has been assigned to a TAX return will take it out of the TAX return; you will need to re-commit it if you want the transaction to be re-entered.

 

If you want to put a debit amount in a credit transaction, then you will need to give the amount
a negative value, same for the reverse.

 

  1. Select the Edit button on the left of the transaction.
  2. Edit the transaction details.
  3. Select the OK button to save the changes.
  4. Please note - if you have a negative transaction that requires a positive split within it you need to add a minus next to the positive amount and vice versa for a positive transaction that requires a negative split.

Delete transaction/s

To delete a transaction:

 

  1. Select the transaction(s) you want to delete.
  2. Select the Delete Selected button.
  3. Answer the question OK if you want to delete the selected transaction(s).
