Finding a Transaction

Dolly Card4 min read

The short answer

Open Transactions and pick a tab: Pending for charges that haven’t settled yet, Settled for charges that have, and Declined for card declines. Search by description, merchant or amount, set the dates, and use Filters to narrow the list. Crew see the charges on their own cards. Admins see every card on the production.

I'm using layout

Switch on the Transactions page under Layout.

The three tabs

TabWhat it holds
PendingCharges the merchant has authorized but not settled yet. You can already add a receipt and coding here.
SettledCharges that have settled. This is where you reconcile, split and put charges in envelopes.
DeclinedDeclined charges, with the reason. Admins can see every card’s declines.

A charge usually moves from Pending to Settled within a few days. The totals at the top right (Expenses, Returns and Net Settled on the Settled tab) follow the tab, dates and filters you have set.

What the table looks like

One row per charge. Choose a row to open it on the right, where you add its receipt, coding and description. A charge with no account yet has an account box right in the row.

The Settled tab in List: one row per charge with date, description, merchant, amount, cardholder, account and receipts.
List. The marks on the left show how much of each charge is reconciled.

Narrow the list

  • Search by description, merchant or amount in the box next to the tabs.
  • Dates. Choose the date button, then Created Date (when the charge was made) or Settled Date, and a range: All time, Today, Yesterday, a statement week, This Month, Last Month or a Custom Range. Dates are in UTC.
  • Filters. Pick a filter on the left to see its options. Changes apply right away, and Reset clears them. You can filter by amount, card, department, envelope and envelope status, Reconciliation Status, receipt, comment, merchant category, returns, disputes, account and other codes.
  • Quick filters are ready-made sets: Unreconciled Transaction Report shows charges that still need something, and Unposted Transactions Report shows settled charges whose envelope hasn’t been posted yet. Picking one replaces your current filters.
The Settled tab with the Filters panel open on Department, two of four departments selected, and the totals at the top right.
Pick a filter on the left and its options on the right. The chip under the tabs shows what is applied.
The date menu: Created Date or Settled Date, then All time, Today, Yesterday, statement weeks, This Month, Last Month and Custom Range.
Choose which date to filter on, then the range.

Change the view

  • Layout switches between List, Sheet and GL. Each one is shown above.
  • Receipt View puts each charge’s receipt next to the list. Fullscreen hides the side menu.
  • Admins can choose Customize columns to set the columns everyone sees. It opens Settings → Data Formats → View.
The Layout menu: List, Sheet and GL, then Receipt View, Fullscreen and Customize columns.
The Layout menu. Customize columns shows for admins.

Save or export what you found

Export gives you the list as it is filtered on screen: Export as PDF, Export as CSV or Export as Excel.

On the Settled tab, once you have set filters, admins can choose Create Report Template, name it and Save Report. It shows up under Reports → Custom for next time.

Frequently asked questions

I can’t find a charge I just made.
Look on the Pending tab. A charge stays there until it settles, usually within a few days. If it was declined, it is on the Declined tab.
Why don’t I see everyone’s charges?
Crew see the charges on their own cards. Admins and accountants see every card on the production.
Why is a charge on a different day than I expected?
Dates on the Transactions page are in UTC, so a late-evening charge can show on the next day. Switch between Created Date and Settled Date to see which one you are filtering on.
Can I see pending and settled charges in one list?
No. They are on separate tabs. Check Pending for charges that haven’t settled yet and Settled for the rest.
How do I see only what I still need to reconcile?
Open Filters → Quick filters → Unreconciled Transaction Report, or filter Reconciliation Status to Unreconciled.
