The Bank & Accounts view

Account properties

A Skrooge account has the following properties:

Bank

You may choose a bank from the drop down box (containing the list of known banks for your country), or type the name if your bank is not in the list (If the list is empty, the Skrooge team has not yet been provided this information. You may contact us to help!).

  • Current

  • Credit Card: This kind of account has a specific reconciliation mode.

Accounts list

The accounts list takes the form of a table with one line per account. In addition to the properties you defined for this account, Skrooge displays the following columns:

Amount

The amount available on the account, considering all transactions registered, whether they are validated or not.

Checked

The amount of all validated transactions. This should be equal to the amount written on your last account's position from your bank.

Foreseen

The difference between the two previous columns

Number of transactions

The total number of transactions made on this account

As with all Skrooge list views, you can fully customize the table appearance.

Create an Account

You create accounts in the editing panel below the accounts list in Accounts view.

To create an account, enter its attributes (the mandatory ones are in bold), and click on Add. Skrooge doesn't need you to provide the initial amount of this account. In order to set the initial amount of the account, create a transaction corresponding to the initial amount.

Modify an Account

To modify an account, select it, modify its attributes, and click on "Modify"

Delete Accounts

To delete accounts, select them and either press Delete on the keyboard, use the contextual menu, or use the icon in the toolbar.

Warning

Upon deleting an account, all transactions belonging to this account will also be deleted! However, you can always undo the deletion.
