Operations Management – Transactions
The Transactions feature, part of the Operations Management module, centralizes the registration, classification, and financial tracking of all operational transactions, such as expenses, incomes, adjustments, or per diem allowances.
Users can create manual transactions, import entries, attach documents, classify costs into projects and cost centers, and view summarized financial balances.
