Bank Transactions
Bank Transactions
Every dollar that flows through your business accounts shows up here. The Bank Transactions screen is your per-account register — a complete, chronological record of every payment received, bill paid, bank fee posted, and transfer made. You do not create transactions here; they appear automatically the moment you post a document elsewhere in CifraHQ. If it moved money, it is in this list.
Where to find it
Go to Banking > Transactions. Select the financial institution from the filter to view its transaction history.
Bank Transactions list, every credit and debit posted to a bank account.
What you see
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Posting Date | The date the transaction was recorded in the system |
| Reference | The source document code that created this entry (e.g., INV-0042, BP-0015) |
| Reference Type | The document type — Invoice, BillPayment, BankTransfer, and so on |
| Amount | Positive = money in; negative = money out |
| Account Balance | Running balance after this transaction — lets you trace exactly when your balance hit any given level |
| GL Entry | Link to the underlying journal entry for full double-entry detail |
| Reconciled | Whether this transaction has been ticked off against a bank statement |
How transactions are created
You do not create transactions directly. They are generated automatically when you post:
| Document | Effect on bank |
|---|---|
| Invoice Payment (regular) | + Receipt into bank account |
| Bill Payment (regular) | − Payment out of bank account |
| Customer Pre-Payment (posted) | + Receipt into bank account |
| Vendor Pre-Payment (posted) | − Payment out of bank account |
| Bank Transfer (posted) | − from source account; + to destination account |
| Tax Payment (posted) | − Payment out of bank account |
Tips
- Use the Archive toggle to hide older reconciled transactions and keep your working view focused on the current period's activity.
- Click the GL Entry link on any transaction to open the full double-entry journal entry — useful when you need to trace exactly which accounts were debited and credited.
- You cannot edit transactions here. The register is a read-only view of posted activity. If a transaction is wrong, correct the source document — void the payment, reverse the entry, or credit the invoice — and the register updates automatically.
