To help you understand how the Income and Expense report is generated, here’s a breakdown of the process:
For Expenses: An “Expense” will only reflect in the Income and Expense report when a Business Debit is posted (i.e. when an expense transaction is imported or manually posted to a Business Cashbook).
A Business Debit occurs in the following cases:
When a debit transaction is recorded in a Business Cashbook
When a Trust Debit is posted and there are sufficient Trust Credits available to process a Trust/Business transfer, converting it into a Business Debit
For Income:
When fees/invoices are debited, they are included after the Trust/Business function is processed.
If income is directly allocated to an income account, it also reflects in the report after the Trust/Business function is processed.
Important Note on Timing for TRUST EXPENSES:
The Trust to Business Transfer (TRB) function determines which month the income or expense item for TRUST appears in the report.
For example, if the TRB is run on 3 March, the corresponding income/expenses will appear in the March report, even if the original transaction was earlier.
Important Note on Timing for BUSINESS EXPENSES:
- The transaction date determines which month the income or expense item for appears in the report.
