Add Transaction
Click the +New button to add a new transaction. See the below articles for specifics on each transaction Type:
- Trade
- Transfer
- Withdrawal
- Deposit
Individual Crypto Transaction Row Actions
From the Actions column in the far right of the table:
- Edit - Update Crypto transaction.
- Delete - Delete this Crypto transaction (could fail if the transaction is in a closed accounting period).
Crypto Cost Basis
Cost Basis is a background process that calculates the cost basis and cost layers for all crypto transactions which involve a "Sent" coin and/or a "Fee" coin (trades, transfers and withdrawals). The Cost Basis function is triggered when clicking the Run Cost Basis button at the top of the Crypto Transactions screen:
Create Crypto Journals
The process takes the crypto transaction information to create Journal Entries that can be viewed in your Financial Reports like entries from other modules involving fiat currencies. Note: Check the Journals and Journal Current columns to confirm/review a Journal created for a crypto transaction, and to see if that Journal is Current or Stale. If Stale, it means this process needs to run again to make the Journal Current.
Crypto Bulk Actions
Select one or more transactions from the checkbox on the far left of each transaction row to bring up the bulk menu:
- Delete - You can select up to 100 transactions at a time so long as they are not in a locked accounting period.
- Update - You can select up to 100 transactions at a time. SoftLedger allows you to bulk update certain fields such as Ledger Account (must be for transactions of the same Type), Customer, Vendor, Reference, and Notes:
Merge Transactions
When bringing in transactions from multiple sources (e.g. two exchanges), a Deposit from one exchange and a Withdrawal from another can sometimes reference the same transaction. If you select one Deposit and one Withdrawal, you can merge the two transactions into one, so long as:
- They have the same Coin.
- They have different Wallets.
- Sent quantity and received quantity is equal.
- Transaction Hash ID is empty for both or equal.
The transactions can then be merged. This results in both transactions being deleted and a new transfer transaction being created. All metadata (Customer/Vendor/notes/reference) for the new transfer transaction will be pulled from the Withdrawal. This can always be edited after the merge if needed.
Crypto Table Actions
- Filters - Filter what appears in the table based on one or more fields available in the table.
- Saved Views - You can create a set of filters that you would like to save to be able to quickly filter a table.
- Column Selector - Hide and reveal extra columns and the number of rows visible in the table per page.
- Export - Table data can be exported using the export button at the top of the table.
- Advanced Filter Transactions - Click the down arrow on the Coin or Wallet (see image below) to quickly filter the table to limit to either a specific Coin or specific Wallet, or both.
Add Attachments
