Transaction List

The instructions in this article relate to Transaction List. The icon may be located on your StrataMax Desktop or found using the StrataMax Search.

A Transaction List can produce a report of all transactions for a property or transactions for selected account codes, for the financial year selected including all journals, receipts, invoices and payments. Transaction List is also available in the old or historical financial years. 

To export all or specific transactions to excel; it is recommended to use Local Transactions or Global Transactions. This is especially useful for exporting GLMax (company) transactions as it will produce the data faster than a Transaction List.

Producing the Transaction List

1. In the selected property and in the relevant financial year, search or select Transaction List. 
2. Click the Select A/cs tab and tag the required accounts as needed - just one or multiple.
   • By not tagging any codes, the report will display transactions for every account.
3. Select the 'Screen' radio button to preview the report, or 'Printer' radio button to print directly to your printer.
4. If you would like to export the report to Excel, make sure the 'Preview' box is ticked, which will display the selected codes in a preview table before printing, and then click the the 'Export' button.
5. Click the Set Limits tab (see the next section below) and adjust the report limits.
6. Click the Conditions tab (see the section below) and adjust the reporting format.
7. When ready, click Proceed.
8. The Transaction List Report has a few columns, some of which are self-explanatory. These are others:
   • Type: This indicates the transaction type; 'C' = Creditor Invoice, 'J' = Journal
   • P: This indicates if the transaction has been presented or not.
   • Two asterisks '**' under the Extra Details column, means no GST.
   • A hashtag '#' on the end of the details indicates that the invoice is on hold.

Set Limits Tab

The 'Set Limits' Tab can be used to set parameters and limit the data displayed. In the example below the 'Account Code Start' and 'Account Code Finish' fields have been set to capture the account codes within this code range.
