Money Flow

Overview

The Money Flow (aka Reconciliation Trace) provides a visual representation of reconciliation relationships, allowing you to trace money flow through your financial data. It displays reconciliation links as a directed graph where you can see how entities are connected and trace paths from source to target entities.

Understanding the Graph

The Money Flow displays reconciliation links as a directed graph:

• Nodes represent financial entities (headers or line items)
• Edges represent reconciliation links showing relationships
• Direction indicates money flows from source to target

Using the Search

The Money Flow search allows you to trace reconciliation relationships by configuring search parameters:

Start Schema Types

Select which document types to start tracing from. This filters the starting points of your money flow trace. You can select multiple document types (e.g., invoices, bank statements) to trace from.

Date Range

Filter reconciliation links by date range. You can:

• Select a specific date range using the date picker
• Use quick range shortcuts (e.g., "Last 30 days", "This month", "Last quarter")
• Leave empty to include all dates

Max Depth

Control how many levels deep the trace will go. This limits how many hops the trace will follow through reconciliation links:

• Lower values (1-3) show direct relationships
• Higher values (5-10) show extended money flow paths
• Maximum value is 20

Limit

Set the maximum number of results to return. This helps manage performance and focus on the most relevant relationships:

• Lower values (10-50) for focused analysis
• Higher values (100-200) for comprehensive views

End Schema Types

Optionally filter which document types to trace to. This allows you to focus on specific destination entities (e.g., only trace to bank statements).

Running the Search

Click the Search button to execute the trace. The results will display as a tree structure showing the money flow paths from your starting entities.

Saving Sessions

You can save your search configuration as a session to quickly reload it later:

Saving a Session

1. Configure your search parameters (date range, schema types, max depth, limit)
2. Click the Save button in the left sidebar
3. Enter a name for your session (required)
4. Optionally add a description to help identify the session
5. Click Save to store the session

The saved session includes all your current search settings:

• Start and end schema types
• Date range (or date range shortcut)
• Max depth
• Limit

Loading a Saved Session

1. Open the left sidebar (if closed, click the menu icon)
2. Browse your saved sessions in the sidebar
3. Click on a session name to load it
4. The search parameters will be restored automatically
5. Click Search to run the trace with the saved configuration

Managing Sessions

• Update: Click the edit icon on a saved session to update its name, description, or configuration
• Delete: Click the delete icon to remove a session you no longer need
• Refresh: Use the refresh button to reload the list of saved sessions

Saved sessions are persistent and available across browser sessions, making it easy to return to frequently used money flow traces.
