Transactions
Transactions are the core of Gee Ledger. Every financial event — whether it’s a sale, an expense, or a payment — is recorded as a transaction.
Creating a Transaction
- Navigate to Transactions in the sidebar
- Click New Transaction
- Fill in the details:
- Type — Income or Expense
- Amount — The transaction total
- Date — When the transaction occurred
- Party — The client or supplier (optional)
- Category — How to classify the transaction (optional)
- Account — Which financial account (optional)
- Location — Where it happened (optional)
- Channel — The sales channel (optional)
- Note — Additional details (optional)
- Reference No. — Invoice or receipt number (optional)
- Click Save
Line Items
For detailed transactions, you can add individual line items:
- Product items — Select from your product catalog or enter custom items
- Service items — For time-based or service charges
- Each item can have its own quantity, unit price, tax rate, and discount
The transaction total is calculated automatically from line items.
Editing a Transaction
Click any transaction in the list to open its detail page. From there you can:
- Edit any field
- Add or remove line items
- Attach files (Pro plan)
- View the activity history
Filtering and Searching
The transaction list supports filtering by:
- Date range — View transactions within a specific period
- Type — Income, expense, or all
- Category, location, channel — Narrow down results
- Party — View all transactions with a specific client or supplier
- Search — Find transactions by note, reference number, or party name
Transaction Statuses
Transactions with invoice tracking enabled go through a lifecycle:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Not yet finalized |
| Sent | Invoice delivered to client |
| Viewed | Client has viewed the invoice |
| Paid | Payment received |
| Overdue | Past the due date |
| Cancelled | Voided |
See Invoicing & Receipts for more details.
Printing and Emailing
- Print — Generate a printable invoice or receipt from any transaction
- Email — Send invoices directly to clients via email (Pro plan)
Credit Notes
Issue a partial or full refund against an income transaction:
- Open the income transaction
- Scroll to the Credit Notes card
- Click Issue Credit Note
- Enter the amount (up to the remaining creditable balance), date, and optional note
- The credit note is created as a linked transaction with an auto-generated number (e.g., CN-0001)
Credit notes:
- Reduce the party’s balance in statements
- Show as negative amounts in the transaction list
- Are subtracted from income totals on the dashboard
- Can be printed as a “CREDIT NOTE” document
Overdue Reminders
Automatically email clients when invoices are past their due date.
- Go to Settings → Documents → Overdue Reminders
- Enable reminders and select day offsets (e.g., 1, 3, 7 days after due)
- Reminders are sent automatically at 1:00 AM UTC daily
Overdue reminders require a Pro plan and count toward your monthly email limit.
See Invoicing & Receipts for more details.
Deleting a Transaction
Transactions use soft deletion — they are marked as deleted but not permanently removed. This preserves your audit trail.
