Understanding Transaction Data

Inflows vs Outflows

Statements separates money in and money out:

  • Inflow: Salary, refunds, transfers in, interest earned
  • Outflow: Purchases, bills, transfers out, fees

Particulars

The particulars field contains the original transaction description from your bank. This typically includes:

  • Merchant name
  • Reference numbers
  • Transaction type codes
  • Location information

Fingerprinting

Each transaction has a unique fingerprint based on:

  • Date
  • Amount (inflow/outflow)
  • Particulars

This prevents duplicate imports when you upload overlapping statements.

Tips for Effective Management

Regular Categorization

  • Review uncategorized transactions weekly
  • Create rules for recurring patterns (see Categorization Rules)

Use Entities

  • Entities help track spending by vendor/source
  • More specific than categories ("Amazon" vs "Shopping")

Add Comments

  • Use comments for receipts, project codes, or notes
  • Comments are searchable

Leverage Filters

  • Save time by filtering to specific accounts or date ranges
  • Focus on uncategorized items that need attention

To export your transactions:

  1. Apply desired filters (optional)
  2. Click Export in the toolbar
  3. Choose format (CSV)
