🧾 How do I code a transaction?

You can code transactions in two ways, but make sure your budget is uploaded first!
📌 Without a budget, you won’t be able to code your transactions. Even a simple expense budget will do!

✍️ Option 1: Code directly in the table

  1. Go to Transactions → Vendors & Contractors / P-Card / Other Expenses

  2. In the table, locate the "Category" column

  3. Click into the dropdown to select a code from your uploaded budget

🔍 Option 2: Code from the Review screen

  1. Click the eye icon 👁️ on the transaction

  2. Scroll to the Categories table

  3. Click the dropdown in the Category column to assign your code


Can I split the code for a transaction (multi-category coding)?

Yes! You can split one transaction into multiple account lines 🎯

Steps:

  1. Click the eye icon 👁️ on the transaction

  2. Scroll to the Categories table

  3. Click “+ Add Item” (bottom right) to add more rows

  4. Enter different codes and amounts for each row
    💡 Perfect for invoices or receipts that span multiple departments or budget lines.


📤 How do I upload invoices and estimates?

📂 Option 1: Upload via Transactions tab

  • Go to the Transactions page → click “Upload & Scan”

  • Select Invoice or Estimate

  • Upload files in .pdf, .png, .jpg, or .jpeg format

  • You can upload up to ~80 documents at once!

📧 Option 2: Email your docs

  • Email files to your custom production email address

  • Find it in Transactions → Vendors & Contractors
    RollCredits will auto-scan and create a transaction with all info attached!


🛠️ How do I create a custom field?

  1. Go to Company → Custom Fields

  2. Choose from two tabs:

    • Transactions → adds fields to the main table

    • Transaction Accounts → adds fields inside the Review screen (Categories section)

  3. Click “+ Create Custom Field” and choose the field type:

    • ✏️ Text

    • 🔢 Number

    • 💰 Money

    • 🔽 Dropdown

    • 📅 Date

    • 📉 Percentage

    • ☑️ Checkbox

    • 🧮 Formula

Customize your table like a pro!


🧮 How do I code tax credits?

  1. Under Transaction Categories, create a checkbox (e.g., “Tax Credit Eligible”)

  2. (Optional) Add a text field for coding types (e.g., “Qualified”, “Not Qualified”) and a rebate %

💡 Be consistent with where you mark tax credit eligibility—either at the subcategory or transaction level for clean reporting!


🧠 Does the table work like Excel?

Yes it does! 🧾
Click the “Need Help?” button on the far right of the table to launch a tutorial demo.


📁 How do I see previous transactions & wrapped projects?

Your wrapped projects stay archived but accessible!
🔍 Just go to your Company Profile — they’ll be marked with "(Wrapped)" next to the title.


How do I do multi-category coding for one transaction?

This is the same as splitting a transaction! Here's the quick recap:

  1. Go to the Transactions tab

  2. Click the eye icon 👁️ on the transaction

  3. In the Categories table, click “+ Add Item” to create new lines

  4. Enter the appropriate amount and code for each line

Useful for receipts or invoices covering multiple budget categories ✅


⚠️ What does “Line Item Mismatch” mean?

This warning means the sum of your category lines doesn’t match the transaction total.

🛠 To fix:

  • Open the transaction (click the eye icon)

  • Adjust the amounts in the Categories table so they match the full transaction total
