All transactions from connected accounts, direct integrations, and imported files flow into this tab automatically. When transactions sync, Kick's categorization model categorizes approximately 97% on first pass. Uncategorized transactions appear when the model's confidence is low. Once categorized, transactions post to the General Ledger in real time. → [Categories vs General Ledger](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/categorization/categories-vs-general-ledger.md) *** ### Columns Customize which columns are visible using the **Views icon** (⚙) in the top right. The following columns are available: * **Date** — The transaction date as reported by the bank or integration * **Description** — The transaction description displayed in Kick * **Account** — The connected financial account the transaction came from * **Amount** — The transaction amount * **Entity** — The entity the transaction is assigned to * **Bank description** — The raw, unmodified description from the bank feed * **Cash ledger** — The account the transaction posts to on the Cash ledger * **Accrual ledger** — The account the transaction posts to on the Accrual ledger * **Counterparty** — The vendor or customer associated with the transaction * **Memo** — Free-text field for adding context to a transaction * **Receipt** — Whether a receipt has been uploaded or matched * **Reconciliation status** — Whether the transaction has been reconciled against a bank statement. → [Reconciliation](/accountants/close-workflows/reconciliation.md) * **Class** — Class and subclass assignments for departmental or location-based tracking. → [Classes](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/classes.md) * **Matched transfer** — Whether the transaction has been matched to a corresponding transaction on another account. When money moves between two accounts (e.g., a withdrawal from checking and a deposit into savings), both sides should be matched so the movement is recorded as a transfer rather than counted as separate income and expense. → [Transfers](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/transfers.md) *** ### Filters Click **Add filter** in the top left to narrow the transaction list. You can filter by Date, Category, Account, Amount, Rules, Counterparty, Memo, Receipts, Split, Reconciliation, Match, General Ledger, Locked, and Status. You can save specific column and filter combinations as custom views for quick access. → [Views](/accountants/collaboration/views.md) *** ### Edit a transaction Select a transaction to open the details panel. From here you can update: * **Category** — The client-facing label used for cash flow reporting * **Cash ledger** — The account the transaction posts to on the Cash ledger * Manually changing the ledger account overrides the default category-to-account mapping * **Accrual ledger** — The account the transaction posts to on the Accrual ledger * **Counterparty** — The [vendor or customer](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/counterparties.md) associated with the transaction * **Entity** — Move the transaction to a different [entity](/accountants/setting-up/multi-entity.md) * **Memo** — Add [context](/accountants/collaboration/memos.md) to the transaction * **Receipt** — Upload or match a [receipt](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/documents.md) to the transaction * **Match** — Match the transaction to a [corresponding transfer](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/transfers.md) on another account Other fields that cannot be edited in details can be edited in-line by exposing the relevant column on the Transactions tab via [Views](/accountants/collaboration/views.md). → [Categorization](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/categorization.md)\ → [Categories vs General Ledger](/accountants/bookkeeping-workflows/categorization/categories-vs-general-ledger.md)\ → [Accrual tasks](/accountants/close-workflows/tasks/accrual-tasks.md) *** ### Bulk actions Select multiple transactions to act on them at once. You can select transactions by clicking with **Shift** held. The **Bulk Actions toolbar** appears at the bottom of the screen. Available actions: * Set category * Set counterparty * Set class * Set cash ledger * Set accrual ledger * Set entity * Set memo Additional actions are available from the options menu (⋯) in the toolbar: * **Create task** — Attach the selected transactions to a task and assign to a team member or client. The task inherits the column layout from your current Transactions view. * **Copy URL** — Generate a direct link to the selected transaction(s) for sharing outside of Kick. → [Tasks](/accountants/close-workflows/tasks.md) *** ### Create a one-off transaction If you need to record a transaction that didn't come through a connected account or import — such as a cash payment or an off-platform exchange — you can create one manually. 1. Click the (+) icon in the top right, or press cmd + k on your keyboard 2. Click **Add transaction** 3. Enter the transaction details: date, description, amount, and entity 4. Click **Save** The transaction appears on the Transactions tab, where it can be edited or deleted, and posts to the Cash on Hand account on the Balance Sheet. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
