Why Use the Transactions Report?

In the Transactions report, you will find versatile sorting and filtering options that let you answer such transaction-related questions about accounts and groups as:

See the Transaction Report in Action: Tracking Transactions

As part of daily auditing, a firm's administrative staff reviews all transactions within accounts containing recent trades. The Transactions report is set up to display only the previous day's activities, and only the activity types controlled by the firm.

See the Transaction Report in Action: Tracking Money Securities

An advisor notices that an account dipped below the desired cash balance amount and wants to know how this occurred. She configures the Transaction report Group by option to Money Security, which adds the money security columns to the report. This allows her to easily track the impact of every cash transaction on the account's cash balance and to see exactly how the account arrived at its current cash balance.

For more information on using the Money Security option, visit See Cash-Impacting Transactions.
