In the Transactions table you are immediately operational and can enter incoming and outgoing transactions. Entry is extremely easy and intuitive, even for those with no accounting knowledge.
The Transactions Table
The Transactions table is at the heart of the Cash Manager's bookkeeping.
It allows you:
- Clarity and order of the columns: thanks to the table layout you always have an immediate and complete overview of the data entered.
There are main columns, already predefined, in which you can enter:- The date of the transaction
- Any document number
- The incoming or outgoing amount
- The category for the entry or exit
- To insert digital attachments: in the Transactions table, you can also make the DocLink column visible, which allows you to add the receipt or invoice to each movement in PDF format, ensuring the immediate availability of the documents in case of future audits or to transmit them to the accountant.
- To always make corrections: if there are errors, you can easily correct them, ensuring correct and accurate results every time.
Speeding up the transaction registration
Banana Accounting Plus offers several functions to speed up the data entry process, such as:
- Auto-completion. In the Description column, by typing the first few characters, the programme automatically suggests similar movements that have already been entered previously and, by pressing F6, completes the current movement with the selected data.
- Recurring Transactions. It is possible to store recurring transactions in a special table, taken from the menu Actions > Recurring Transactions, and to resume them with a single click, saving time and simplifying work.
Reports and Printouts
After each transaction, the programme automatically updates all account balances in the Category table and in the account. You can easily print statements and reports for easy monitoring of income and expenditure and the status of available cash in the cash account.
Professional and accurate reports at the touch of a button:
From the menu Reports > Enhanced statement or Enhanced statement with groups, get your reports in no time. Reports by period are also possible.
- The Enhanced statement displays all accounts and categories without any subgroups.
- The Enhanced statement with groups displays all accounts and categories also with subgroups.
PDF data archiving
All accounting data, over a period of years, must be available at all times, both for tax purposes and for any internal requirements.
Simple and comprehensive archiving. From the menu File > Create Pdf dossier, you can easily archive all accounting data in a single PDF document. This allows you to store the entire accounting for the year in an orderly and complete manner, making it easier to access and consult the data in the future.
