¶ Transactions
¶ Overview
The entire billing process within Splynx is based on transactions. Transactions are the key points in billing and they are always added when there is a change in the customer’s billing flow or balance. The following actions create transactions:
-
Each invoice period Splynx charges customers automatically. The administrator can set up the invoice date as the 1st day of the month, and then the customer will be charged for the calendar month.
Splynx has the ability to charge each customer on a different date. For example, one customer is charged on the 15th day of the month and another customer is charged on the 20th. This action creates aDebittransaction. -
The administrator creates the invoice manually. This action can be performed in
Billing → Finance documentstab of the customer's profile usingAdd document → One-time (Recurring) invoice / Future itemoption. This actions create aDebittransaction. -
When a customer pays for service, a transaction is created. Customers can pay via bank transfer, cash or an online payment gateway. Splynx will always pair the payment with the customer’s account and create one payment transaction. A
Credittransaction is created in such a case. -
When an administrator adds or removes money to/from the customer’s balance.
-
When a correction is needed, it can be achieved with Credit note. This in turn makes a transaction creation as well.
Thanks to the transaction system, there is always a clear history as a way to track changes in the customer’s profile (Customers → List → Some customer → Billing → Transactions).
¶ List of transactions
The transactions table in Finance → Transactions displays all types of transactions related to the customers and contains the Customer name/ID, date of transaction, type of transaction (debit or credit), its description, price, etc.
A table called Totals below the transactions list, displays the type of transaction (Debit / Credit), the amount of transactions and total amount of money for each of type.
¶ Filter
The filter is located above the transactions list, it can be used to sort particular transactions, e.g. by partner, by transaction's category, by type or period.
¶ Table management
Like all tables in Splynx, the icon 
at the top-right corner of the transactions list can be used to export the table by means of printing, copying or saving the table in preferred file. The table can also be customized to view desired/preferred fields/columns with the use of 
icon.
