Account Transactions
The default heading for account transactions is as follows:
Date Account Transaction Details Transaction Type Transaction Reference Number Debit Credit Amount
The "Amount" column is redundant and repetitive. All you are doing is repeating the information in the debit and the credit column for no specific reason. That will not help in no way using the report as it doesn't provide any additional benefit having it there. Here is my recommendation:
Date Transaction Details Transaction Number Reference Number Debit Credit Balance
I recommend removing the account as this is a duplication. I already know what account I wanted transactions for before I opened it. In addition, the account is already at the top of the report, in case I might have a memory loss when I opened the account transaction and would like a refresh.
Transaction type is another heading that can be removed. This column is not relevant in doing an account analysis. Doing an account analysis is mainly trying to find out if there was an error in posting, what the transaction represent and to get more details on the transaction itself. The type of transaction in my opinion is irrelevant.
Finally, the Amounts column, which is my frustration. Whenever I drill down on an account, I am unable to find out what balance is after each transaction and have to keep calculating this before and after making changes. Not sure who came up with this smart idea of having an amounts column, because even in basic accounting you learned the following heading for Accounts:
Date Particular Debit Credit Balance
There has never been a mention of amounts in that portfolio. Adding the balance column instead of the amount column would make the report more beneficial and useful to accountants, financial controllers and analysts. These are some of the simple things why companies would choose to move from Zoho to other accounting software.
