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 select Edit.
  2. Select the Cleanup button
  3. Select the Start date date field and pick the date from when the transactions are to be deleted
  4. Select 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. Select the delete key
  7. Select Yes at the date confirmation screen, or No to stop the delete process
  8. Select 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.
