Creating a new account

After you have created a new file or if you have selected to create a new account from the Accounts screen, you will be prompted to create a new account.

To create a new account:

  1. Tap the Account Name edit field and enter the name for the account

  2. Select the Account Type from the drop list provided. If the account type isn't available then tap New to create a custom type.

  3. Tap the Description edit field and enter a description for the account.

  4. Tap the Opening balance edit field and use the popup calculator to enter an opening balance.

  5. Select a Currency from the currency list drop list.

  6. Tap the More… button to enter account details. 
    Various other account information can be entered on this screen.
    You can enter your next check number allowing XS Finance to fill in and automatically increment the number if you create a check transaction.

  7. Tap Create to create the account.

 

 

Cleanup

Sometimes it is useful to clear out account transactions in bulk, leaving the account balance intact. For example, you may only want to keep one years transactions on your unit if memory is limited. XS Finance allows you to cleanup your transactions.

To clean up transactions:

  1. Select an account from the main account list and tap Edit.
  2. Tap the Cleanup button
  3. Tap the Start date date field and pick the date from when the transactions are to be deleted
  4. Tap the End date date field and pick the date that you want to stop deleting at.
  5. Choose from the Status drop list the type of transaction you want to delete
       All transactions - deletes all within the date range
       Cleared - deletes only Cleared transaction with the date range
       Reconciled  - deletes only Reconciled transaction with the date range
       Void - deletes only Void  transaction with the date range
  6. Tap the delete button
  7. Tap Yes at the date confirmation screen, or No to stop the delete process
  8. Tap Yes at the confirmation showing the number of transactions that will be deleted or No to stop the delete process.

Cleanup can be used at year end to delete all reconciled transactions within a date range.  Deleting transactions using this screen does not effect account balances.
