How to Create a Transaction Report?

Updated: 7 days ago

Reports are an excellent tool for monitoring business expenses. Once created, you will have access to all essential details about each transaction of your company within a given period. This greatly streamlines the reconciliation process and account management. The transaction report should not be used for recording transactions.


Transaction reports can be generated in three different ways:


1. From the general transaction history

TRANSACTION HISTORY -> GENERATE TRANSACTION REPORT


2. From the transaction history of a specific card

CARDS -> Select a card -> GENERATE TRANSACTION REPORT


3. From account details

ACCOUNTS -> Select account -> TRANSACTION HISTORY -> GENERATE TRANSACTION REPORT


All reports will be based on filters that include only the information you select. After clicking "Generate transaction report", a table will appear containing options for filtering the data. Available filters include: currency, amount range, transaction status, and label.



The Date Range and Account fields are mandatory when creating a report. You must select a specific time period and the account from which you want to generate the report.


After selecting the appropriate filters and clicking the GENERATE TRANSACTION REPORT you will need to choose the type of report. It can be generated either with all attachments from the account (e.g., receipts or invoices for transactions) or without them.



Your report is ready! You will find it in one of the main tabs: REPORTS, along with a link that allows you to easily download it to your device. The report is valid for 1 month (after which it will be deleted from the system).



The report table will be generated in .csv format, which can be opened in programs such as Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.


The report will be packaged in a .zip file, along with all invoices, receipts, and transaction confirmations.



NOTE!

DO NOT USE THE REPORT FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES, DUE TO THE BALANCE AFTER TRANSACTION FIELD, WHICH IS NOT UPDATED AFTER AUTHORIZATIONS ARE REVERSED
