Bank transactions

Once bank accounts, tags, and schedulers are created, you could now begin to create other bank transactions. You can manage bank transactions from the related bank account page overview:

  • add
  • edit
  • delete

On the bank account page, you can filter bank transactions. But also apply some actions in bulk by checking the corresponding boxes:

  • reconciled selected bank transactions
  • unreconciled selected bank transactions
  • delete

Bank transactions alter the bank account balance when they are:

  • created
  • updated
  • deleted

If you don’t want to apply these alterations, you may set the bank transaction’s status to inactive. See Status.

Fields

Some fields need more explanations:

Status

Each statuses may have the following actions:

Status Alter balance Statistics
active Yes Yes
ignored Yes No
inactive No No

Indeed, bank transactions could:

  • alter the bank account balance. Thus, they are used for the total of the balance (future, current, reconciled)
  • being used for statistics (ratio and trendtime)

Active is the default status. Ignored could be used for internal transfer for example. You may need it if you want to alter the bank account balance but don’t want to pollute your statistics with. Inactive exists for purpose only. I didn’t find any use cases for it now. May be changed/removed in the future.

Reconcile flag

This is a marker which indicates whether it is synchronous with your real bank account. It is usefull to anticipate expenses for example. You can see a quick summary of the reconciled balance as well as the total reconciled balance. On the contrary, you can also see the balance from a given bank transaction or the future total balance.
