Reconcile Income Transactions

Where to find your transactions

Navigate to Sales → Bank Reconciliation → Transactions.

Here you’ll see all transactions that were imported from your bank statement CSV file.
Each row includes the date, the bank account it was imported into, description, counterpart, amount, and status.

Income vs expense (how to tell them apart)

  • Income transactions are shown in green and displayed as a positive amount.

  • Expense transactions are shown in red and displayed as a negative amount (with a minus sign).

Use filters to find what you need

Above the transactions table you’ll find filters to help you narrow things down, for example:

  • by date range / period

  • by status

  • by type (Income or Expense)

Overpayments and partial payments (how it’s handled)

If the selected invoices total is less than the bank payment (overpayment)

If the total value of the selected invoices is less than the income transaction amount, one of the invoices will be overpaid, and the extra amount will be visible on the customer’s statement.

Example:
A customer sends 1,000, and you reconcile it against an invoice worth 800.
Result: the invoice is marked as Paid, and it will show an overpayment of 200 on the customer’s statement.

If the selected invoices total is more than the bank payment (partial payment)

If the total value of the selected invoices is more than the income transaction amount, the invoice will be marked as Partially Paid, with the remaining balance still outstanding.

Example:
A customer sends 1,000, and you reconcile it against an invoice worth 1,200.
Result: the invoice is Partially Paid with 200 outstanding.

If you select multiple invoices

When multiple invoices are selected, the system applies the payment across them in order, marking invoices as paid until the payment runs out.

Example:
A customer sends 1,000, and you select invoices of 300, 500, and 400 (total 1,200).
Result:

  • 300 invoice: Paid

  • 500 invoice: Paid

  • 400 invoice: Partially Paid (with 200 paid and 200 outstanding)
