Account Transactions Screen

Last Updated: Fri Jan 12 2024

Account Transactions are viewed in Account / Billing / Transactions

Overview

Transactions are debits and credits that impact the account balance and get issued to invoices. From this screen you can view, add, delete and reverse transactions on the selected account. You can also edit the details of transactions that have not yet been billed.

Payments are not shown on the transaction screen. To view and make payments see the Account / Billing / Payments screen.

Transactions Panel

The Transactions panel towards the left of this screen allows you to select existing transactions to view and edit on the Edit Transaction panel to the right. Actions are also available in this panel which are shown as icons above the Filter text box. The available actions are described below.

Edit Transaction Panel

The information in this panel reflects the currently selected transaction. From here you can view and modify transaction details (note: fields with a magenta left border are required).

Transaction Fields and Options:

  • Date: the date of the transaction

  • Posting Date: the date the transaction was issued from a reporting / financial period standpoint

  • Issued Invoice: auto-populated, read-only field which displays an invoice number if the selected transaction has been issued to an invoice. If the transaction has not been issued to an invoice this field will be empty

  • Account: the account the transaction was applied to. This may be a different account than the account you are viewing if the account the transaction was applied to is setup to invoice its charges to the account you have loaded (for instance a child account may be listed in this field)

  • Quantity: this setting acts as a multiplier so that multiple transactions of the same type/amount can be added at once. The maximum quantity value supported in this field is 10,000

  • Amount: the transaction amount

  • Service: the service the transaction relates to. Taxes applicable to this service will not be added initially but will be added when billing occurs, unless the service selected is setup to be tax exempt

  • Package: auto-populated, read-only field which displays the account-package name when the transaction is added by a bill run. This field will not be populated for manually added transactions

  • Period Start / Period End: allows you to specify the date range that the transaction applies to. E.g. the charge is applicable for services provided from the 1st to the 30th

  • Tax Inclusive: when enabled taxes are calculated into the transaction amount, rather than applying taxes on top of the transaction amount

  • GL Code: a general ledger code associated with the transaction

  • Service Tax Category: a service tax category associated with the transaction

  • Detail: details what the transaction relates to. This will be system defined when the transaction is generated by billing and user defined when a transaction is manually added to the account

  • Usage Identifier: auto-populated, read-only field which displays a usage identifier when the service that the transaction relates to is a usage based service

Taxes tab

No taxes will appear here for transactions which have not yet been billed.

This tab displays taxes on billed transactions and will display the taxes charged on top of the transaction amount (if any taxes were applicable), unless the transaction was configured with the ‘Tax Inclusive’ setting enabled, in which case the tax is factored into the transaction amount. The taxes that are charged may depend on the service that the transaction relates to (i.e. service specific taxes). This tab will detail the tax code, tax rate and tax amount for each billed transaction on the account.

Discounts tab

This tab will appear for billed transactions and indicate if any discounts were applied to the transaction amount.

Reversals tab

This tab will appear if reversals have been applied to the transaction. Multiple reversals may be listed here if the transaction was partially reversed more than once. If the reversal has not yet been billed then you will be able to delete it from this tab.

The reversal and its amount will now appear on the Reversals tab when you select the transaction and click on that tab. The new reversal transaction will not be taxed until it is billed. The original transaction amount shown in the list of transactions on the left hand side will not be modified.


Adding Tax Adjustments

Tax Adjustments allow zero dollar transactions to be created with a user defined tax amount. This feature allows tax corrections to be made if previous charges or credits that were incorrectly assessed. Both positive and negative tax adjustments can be made. Like other transactions, tax adjustments can be viewed on the Transactions screen and reversed.

Note: Tax adjustments are not submitted to Avalara. If your version of LogiSense Billing is integrated with Avalara you can use the 'Tax Adjustment Reconciliation' report to reconcile taxes with the compliance reports in the Avalara Communications Customer Portal.
