The Transaction feature allows you to record Transactional values against your Contract. These could be invoices that have been issued or payments received.
These values are then displayed in your Contract record in a 'Transaction Total' field. The 'Remaining Budget' field will then compare the two values and display the balance with a percentage for your information.

The fields values can only be calculated if you have a Contract with a Term, if you have not entered a Term then the fields will display that one is required.

The Transaction Total field will total any Transaction records that you have entered in the Transaction tab. if you have entered a value in the record then the field will display it as a Total value.
The Remaining Budget field will calculate your Financial value minus your Transaction value and present the balance with a Total and a percentage.
Each field has 3 options to choose from to display these values. This, Previous or Next Financial year, you can tick any of the box's required.

The calculations of the the fields are controlled by two setting in the Configuration area in 'Manage Account Configuration.
Fig 5 - Manage Account Configuration
Here you can set if you wish your Transaction Total field to be calculated by Invoice Date or Paid Date and to also use either the Net or the Gross Value.
You can have all fields on your Transaction record but the Total field can only calculate one for each option. The option is for all records, one choice applies to all Contract records.

To allow your fields to calculate correctly then you must have either one of these fields on your Transaction record and to contain a value.
For example, if you have selected that the Transaction Total is calculated by Paid Date and you have not entered this date on your Transaction record then your Total will display as 0.
Adding the Transaction Total and Remaining Budget Fields
If you have the Transaction feature switched on but you cannot see the required fields either on your Contract or your Transaction forms then you will need to adjust your Contract and Transaction Form Layouts.
The fields will be displayed in the Available Fields section after you have ticked the 'Show system fields' checkbox. just pull the fields onto the forms and then they will be displayed.
