How can I find details of payments that have been made?
There are two ways to find details of payments that have been made:
- on the 'Bank Reconciliation' screen
- via the 'Search Purchases' screen.
Using the Bank Reconciliation screen to find details of payments made
When you mark a payment as paid on the Payments screen, the payment moves to the Match Transactions screen. The payment waits there until you upload the bank statement for that period. At that point, you can match the payment with an outgoing bank transaction.
If a payment has been made but has yet to be matched, you will find it on the bank matching screen:
- In the sidebar menu, click Bank Reconciliation.
- Select the bank account from which the payment was made
- The unmatched payment will be in the right-hand table.
- Click on a transaction to see details of the purchase(s) that made up the payment.
Using 'Search purchases' to find details of payments made
Another way to view details of payments made is to go to the 'Search Purchases' screen.
If you have permission, in the 'View Purchases' section of the Purchases screen, you can see and click 'Search All Purchases' next to the purchase search box.
Using the tabs along the top of the 'Search All Purchases' screen, you can search for any purchase that has been entered in a number of different ways: by purchase number, description, invoice reference, payee, supplier, submitter, or purchase amount. Type in the Search box and click the 'Search' icon.
You can then filter the search results by purchase date, supplier or amount. Select the relevant item from the drop-down, and select 'Apply Filters'.
Results can be downloaded to .pdf or .csv.
Top tip: If you search purchases by payee, download the search output as .csv, and then filter transactions by Payment Reference, all expenses paid in the same payment will have the same payment reference.
