Each transaction is recorded in two accounts: where the money came from, and where it’s going. This ensures that your books are always in balance.

Each row in the report lists a different account. There are 6 columns that list:

  • Starting Balance: The amount of money in that account on the first day of your selected date range.

  • Date: Account transcation date.

  • Transaction ID: Account transcation ID.

  • Description: Account transcation description.

  • Debit: The total amount of money that was withdrawn from the account during your selected date range. This amount represents your purchases, bill payments, and expenses.

  • Credit: The total amount of money that was deposited into the account during your selected date range. This amount represents your invoice payments, deposits, and sales.

  • Balance: The overall change in the account's balance. This amount is calculated by subtracting the account's Debits from its Credits.

  • Ending Balance: The current account balance. This amount is calculated by adding or subtracting the Net Movement amount from the Starting Balance.

At the bottom of each section are the total amounts for each column.
