In order to minimize the time spent to add or modify an operation, you have the possibility to customize what optional fields are displayed when editing an operation. To customize it, click on the button "Display" at the bottom of the screen. There are 2 display modes: Quick and Expert. The "Quick mode" takes into account your display preferences, the "Expert mode" displays all fields.
Here is the list of optional fields that can be hidden in the "Quick mode":
So far 5 types of operations are supported:
When you attach an image to an operation you can modify it.
Once you selected "Expense" or "Income" as operation type, you have to select a Category. The most used category is selected by default. Then you have to set who paid by clicking on "Set expense" ( or in case of income, you have to set who received the money by clicking on "Set income").
To define who paid a popup is displayed and you can enter the amount payed by each friend for this operation. Usually there is only one payer per operation but if needed you can enter several.
On this popup you can use a calculator, add new friends, change the currency.
Once the "Who paid?" popup is validated, a summary is displayed on the operation edition screen, you can still change amounts, currency from this screen. To display again the "Who paid?" popup you can click on the purple pencil button.
Then you can select who participates to the operation. The most frequent participant set is selected by default. For each participant you can define a participation coefficient, or a fixed participation.
Just click on the participant to add or remove him (don't need to click on the little check box). The default coefficients can be set on the friend profile, see Friend edition section.
When the expense is done in another currency than the event default currency, a "Real cost" field appears.
This field is automatically initialized using the currency exchange rate. But when you pay in another currency you will probably have bank fees, so you can change this value if you want.
In case of bank fee, you may not know the exact real cost at the moment you enter the operation. You can use the check box "To be confirmed", described earlier, to mark the operation so you don't forget to modify it later when you will know the real amount.
In case of expense in another currency and in cash, the option "Automatically use real cost of the wallet" is available.
When entering cash operations, the friend cash wallet is updated. In case of several currencies, the exact cost of the wallet converted in default currency cannot simply be calculated using the change rate (because of change fees).
So this option is available to take into account the cash wallet real cost in cash operations.
Example:
Then if you go to the wallet of George, you can see the wallet amount, real cost, and history. More details in Friend screen
For a refund you define who gave and who received the money. For a debt you define who owes and who must receive the money. In both cases you can select several friends if needed. Then you enter the amount and change the currency if needed.
More details in the section "Operation types" above.
Just enter who withdrew the money, the amount, and change the currency if needed.
More details in the section "Operation types" above.
Select who changed his cash money, the cash amount paid and the cash amount withdrew.
This will calculate automatically the real cost of the change, and the real cost of the money in the wallet will be re-evaluated.
