Account Transactions Screen
Account Transactions are viewed in Account / Billing / Transactions
Overview
Transactions are debits and credits that impact the account balance and get issued to invoices. From this screen you can view, add, delete and reverse transactions on the selected account. You can also edit the details of transactions that have not yet been billed.
Payments are not shown on the transaction screen. To view and make payments see the Account / Billing / Payments screen.
Transactions Panel
The Transactions panel towards the left of this screen allows you to select existing transactions to view and edit on the Edit Transaction panel to the right. Actions are also available in this panel which are shown as icons above the Filter text box. The available actions are described below.

Edit Transaction Panel
The information in this panel reflects the currently selected transaction. From here you can view and modify transaction details (note: fields with a magenta left border are required).
Transaction Fields and Options:
Date: the date of the transaction
Posting Date: the date the transaction was issued from a reporting / financial period standpoint
Issued Invoice: auto-populated, read-only field which displays an invoice number if the selected transaction has been issued to an invoice. If the transaction has not been issued to an invoice this field will be empty
Account: the account the transaction was applied to. This may be a different account than the account you are viewing if the account the transaction was applied to is setup to invoice its charges to the account you have loaded (for instance a child account may be listed in this field)
Quantity: this setting acts as a multiplier so that multiple transactions of the same type/amount can be added at once. The maximum quantity value supported in this field is 10,000, with the exception of AvaTax integrated environments where a quantity of 500,000 is supported for manual transactions recorded against a service with a service tax category based on Lines
Amount: the transaction amount
Service: the service the transaction relates to. Taxes applicable to this service will not be added initially but will be added when billing occurs, unless the service selected is setup to be tax exempt
Package: auto-populated, read-only field which displays the account-package name when the transaction is added by a bill run. This field will not be populated for manually added transactions
Period Start / Period End: allows you to specify the date range that the transaction applies to. E.g. the charge is applicable for services provided from the 1st to the 30th
Tax Inclusive: when enabled taxes are calculated into the transaction amount, rather than applying taxes on top of the transaction amount
GL Code: a general ledger code associated with the transaction
Service Tax Category: a service tax category associated with the transaction
Detail: details what the transaction relates to. This will be system defined when the transaction is generated by billing and user defined when a transaction is manually added to the account
Usage Identifier: auto-populated, read-only field which displays a usage identifier when the service that the transaction relates to is a usage based service
Taxes tab
No taxes will appear here for transactions which have not yet been billed.
This tab displays taxes on billed transactions and will display the taxes charged on top of the transaction amount (if any taxes were applicable), unless the transaction was configured with the ‘Tax Inclusive’ setting enabled, in which case the tax is factored into the transaction amount. The taxes that are charged may depend on the service that the transaction relates to (i.e. service specific taxes). This tab will detail the tax code, tax rate and tax amount for each billed transaction on the account.
Discounts tab
This tab will appear for billed transactions and indicate if any discounts were applied to the transaction amount.
Reversals tab
This tab will appear if reversals have been applied to the transaction. Multiple reversals may be listed here if the transaction was partially reversed more than once. If the reversal has not yet been billed then you will be able to delete it from this tab.
