1. Manual Bank Account/CSV import
2. How to explain “unexplained transactions”

You can add a bank account to your zistemo under “Banking” -> “Create account” button -> check ”I want to create a Bank Account”.

on the next step, you should enter your bank information:

Then you can upload a CSV file with bank statements to import the data to this account. You can click “See a sample” to find out how these files should look like, or you can skip this step and upload CSV after account creation. (Download CSV File)

If you upload the CSV, then compare the zistemo statement fields with the fields (columns) in the uploaded file:

Next, review the statements which will be imported and click “Done”.

All these statements will now appear in the “Unexplained transactions” tab.

If you want to upload more statements, click “Refresh” and choose the CSV files.

How to explain “unexplained transactions”

By default, all newly uploaded bank statements appear in the “Unexplained transactions” tab. For “upgrading” them to “explained” transactions, you can allocate any of the following options:
– “payment for an expense”, “Other out”, “Private” transaction or “Transfer” from one account to another (if it’s about outcoming funds) OR

– “Payment for an invoice”, “Other in”, “Private”, “Transfer” from one account to another (if it’s about incoming funds).

Balance

The Balance is not the “real” balance from your bank account. It is the account start balance + summary of all transactions. So, it could be that the balance on zistemo is not the account balance of your bank account.

You can add a credit card account to your zistemo in “Banking” -> “Create account” button -> check “I want to create a Credit Card Account”.

You can connect this account manually by uploading bank statements through CSV files. Read more about it in the “Bank Account” article.

By default, in your zistemo “Banking” tab you have a Petty Cash Account.

Petty cash is a small amount of cash on hand that is used for paying small amounts owed, rather than writing a check. Some examples for using petty cash include the following: paying the postal carrier the 17 cents due on a letter being delivered, reimbursing an employee $9 for supplies purchased, or paying $14 for bakery goods delivered for a company’s early morning meeting. When the cash in the petty cash fund is low, the petty cash custodian requests a check to be cashed in order to replenish the cash that has been paid out.

In general, you don’t need more than one. But if you do, you can add a Petty Cash Account in “Banking” -> “Create account” button -> check “I want to create a Petty Cash Account”.

Next, enter the “Name of the cash account”,  its “Cash balance” and “Currency” -> click “Done”.

You can create payment transactions for this account by clicking “Create transaction”.

If you want to print a list of all your transactions, just click the ‘Print’ button above the Transactions table:
