Overview

The Customized Transaction Report helps you locate transactions using flexible criteria when other reports do not meet your needs. You can search for checks, deposits, journal entries, and transfers, and you can filter by category name, umbrella, number, date range, amount range, or words and phrases in a description.

Steps

  1. From the Main Menu, click on View All in the Reports section.
  2. Select #11 Transaction Reports Various.
  3. Choose Customized Transaction Report.
  4. Set your filters:
    • Select one or more transaction types: Check, Deposit, Journal Entry, Transfer.
    • Optionally choose category criteria by name, umbrella, or number.
    • Enter date and amount ranges as needed.
    • Enter a word or phrase to search within the description.
    • Use checkboxes to select multiple values within a filter field.

  5. Click Continue to preview results.
  6. Optional: Export as PDF, CSV, or Excel by clicking Export.

Tips for filtering

  • Start broad, then add filters to narrow results.
  • If no filters are selected the report will default to Find All.
  • Use short keywords in the description to capture variations.
  • Export to CSV if you plan to sort or remove columns later.

Outcome

You can quickly locate specific transactions and export the results in your preferred format for review, sharing, or further analysis.

Troubleshooting

  • No results found - Clear one or more filters and try again. Verify your date range and transaction type.
  • Too many results - Add a category filter or a description keyword.
  • Export issues - If Excel formatting is not required, export as CSV to simplify post-filtering and sorting.
