Money Search

Money Search provides an Advanced Search feature allowing you to find anything and everything to do with Money.

While you need to specify a Date Range, all the other fields are optional.

The optional fields allow you limit what you're searching. These are as follows:

1. Type (e.g. Expense)
   Select the type of document you are looking for from the dropdown menu. By leaving the default as All Types you will search across every type of document within your Beeswax account.
2. ID (e.g. Invoice number)
   If you know the specific document number ID then you can enter this here. This is a very quick way to find a specific Invoice for instance.
3. Company
   You can specify a Company and your search will only include documents assigned or associated with that Company.
4. From and To range
   Being able to search between a range of amounts can be extremely handy. For example if you know you are looking for an expense for $127, then you can add a From and To amount as say, From: $120 - To: $130. This will limit the search for any documents with a total value between these amounts.

Once you have entered the specific fields simply hit the Go button to search and if anything is found it will appear in the list below.

Who Owes Me

This is technically your Accounts Receivables report. It shows you what Invoices are outstanding and allows you to apply any Payments to an Invoice or to multiple Invoices if needed.
Note that you can apply payments also in the Bank Import section.

What I Owe

This is technically your Accounts Payable report. It not only shows you all the outstanding Expenses due but also provides a workflow where the business Owner or Super Admin User needs to Approve a payment first.

This feature is designed to be used in the situation where you have a Book Keeper or someone with the responsibility to set up payments at the bank but where the Owner or someone else with the Super Admin role or above, needs to authorise or approve payments before they are processed at the bank.

This workflow can be very helpful when trying to manage cashflow. For instance, in the case where you have started a Project, have entered expenses for that project but are still waiting on a deposit or payment of an invoice to hit your accounts before you wish to commit to making any payment for expenses relating to that clients project.

The General Ledger report is generally only used by your accountant or book keeper for the purposes of preparing end of year tax returns as well as to  check the correct allocation of transactions to their proper account.
