Understanding Date Fields in Reports

When reviewing transaction data, there are two important date fields to understand:

Created Date

When the money was taken from the account

Use this date for accounting and reporting purposes

Effective Date

When the authorisation was initiated

Used internally for allowance management

Note: When reconciling transactions for a specific month, always filter by the Created Date rather than the Effective Date. The Effective Date may show entries from previous months, as it reflects when the authorisation was initiated.
