Money Reports

Five reports over the money itself, each its own screen: one account’s statement with a running balance, how much you have reconciled, cash against card against EFT, your own money in and out, and the month-by-month trend. The Cash-up Summary, how the till has done, sits beside them.

What it is

Money Reports read your Banking list back to you — every rand in, out and between your accounts — the way you would hold it next to a bank statement. The figures are gross, VAT included, because a bank statement knows nothing about VAT.

  • On a computer: under Reports in the menu on the left, in the Money Reports section, beside the Cash-up Summary.
  • On a phone: tap Reports at the bottom. They are in the Money card.
  • They are on every plan. A team member needs access to Money in or Money out to open them, and someone with only one of the two sees only that side’s money.

Each report has a period picker across the top: This month, This year or All time. This year means the calendar year from 1 January, not the tax year. At the bottom are 📄 PDF and 📊 CSV / Excel. On a phone, each opens your share menu with the file attached; on a computer it downloads.

Account Statement

The cashbook for one account: where it stood when the period began, every movement in date order with the balance after each, and where it closed. Hold it next to the bank’s own statement — the closing figures should agree. It opens on This month.

  • One account at a time, starting on your default account. If you have more than one, tap another account’s name to switch. There is no all-accounts view, because no bank shows a running balance across accounts.
  • Opening, Net movement and Closing sit in tiles at the top.
  • Everything on the account is listed: money in and out, personal money, and transfers, shown as Transfer to or Transfer from the other account. A line you have reconciled says ✓ agreed to the bank.
  • An entry logged to no account is on no statement. Reconciliation counts those for you.

Reconciliation

How much of what moved in the period you have ticked off against a bank statement, account by account. It opens on This month.

  • The tiles show Agreed (the share of entries ticked), Unconfirmed (the rand value not ticked yet) and No account (entries tagged to no account).
  • Each account shows how many of its entries are ticked, the oldest one still open, and the amount still unconfirmed — or all agreed. The account with the most unconfirmed money comes first.
  • Entries with no account are gathered under No account tagged. There is nothing to agree them against until you give each one an account.
  • A transfer between two of your accounts shows under both, because it has to be found on both statements, but counts once in the totals.
💡Chase the oldest open date first. It is usually a line entered twice, or money that never reached the bank. See Reconcile against your bank statement for how to tick.

By Method

How the money physically moved — cash, card, EFT and so on — in and out, across all your accounts. It opens on This month.

  • Tiles for In, Out and Cash in.
  • One line per payment method, with how many entries used it and the money in and out. Entries that never said how they were paid are grouped under No method recorded.
  • Personal money is included: the float in the drawer doesn’t care whose money it is. Transfers between your own accounts are left out.

Personal Money

Your own money, month by month: what you took out for yourself and what you put in. Worklog keeps it out of your profit and tax, and this is the one report that adds it up on its own. It opens on This year.

  • Tiles for Taken out, Put in and Net, then one line per month, newest first, with the drawings and any own money put in.
  • Only entries logged with the personal money tick count, from every account. Money logged under the Owner’s capital contribution category is not in here — see Record a loan, money you put in, or a dividend.

Cash Trend

Every rand in and out, month by month, across all your accounts — the trend behind Cash Flow’s one-period figure. It opens on This year.

  • Tiles for In, Out and Net, then one line per month, oldest first, with its money in, money out and the net.
  • Gross and including personal money, the same as By Method. Transfers between your own accounts are left out.
