Track money on a project

Every project keeps its own running record of cash. You log what comes in and what goes out, and Reconstro keeps the per-currency balance up to date for you. This guide shows where the money lives, how to add a transaction, and how to fix one.

The short version: open a project, tap the + button, choose Transaction, then pick Cash in or Cash out, enter an amount, and tap Save transaction.

Where the money lives

Open a project and go to its timeline — the running feed of everything that's happened on the job. At the top you'll see a small balance table, with one row per currency:

Column	What it shows
Currency	The currency for that row (each currency is kept separate — amounts are never mixed).
In	Total cash received.
Out	Total spent on the project — a purchase counts its full amount the moment you record it, even if you haven't paid the supplier in full yet.
Remaining	What's left (In − Out). It can be negative if more went out than came in.

Below the balance is the timeline feed, where each transaction appears alongside notes, tasks, activities and reminders.

Add a transaction

Open the project and tap the + button.
Choose Transaction ("Record cash in or out").
Pick the direction — Cash in or Cash out.
Enter the Amount and choose the Currency.
Tap Save transaction.

That's the whole required path. Everything below is optional detail you can add when it helps.

The fields

Field	Required?	Notes
Cash in / Cash out	Required	The direction of the money.
Amount	Required	Must be greater than zero.
Currency	Required	Only the project's currencies are shown. Edit the project to add more.
Exchange rate	Sometimes	Appears only when the currency differs from the project's base currency (see below).
Name / Mobile / Address	Optional	The other party — who paid you, or who you paid.
Supplier	Optional	On a Cash out, link the purchase to a supplier so it shows on their statement.
Date	Required	Defaults to today; tap to change.
Note	Optional	A short description of what the money was for.
Receipt	Optional	Attach receipt photos (each up to 1 MB; JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP).

When a currency isn't the project's base currency

If you record money in a currency that isn't the project's base currency, an Exchange rate field appears so the amount can be counted in the base currency too.

Reconstro suggests a rate when one is set up — you'll see "Suggested rate — you can adjust

it." Change it any time; it's just a starting point.

As you type, a live preview shows the converted total in the base currency.
The rate you save is kept with the transaction, exactly as you entered it.

Buying from a supplier (Cash out)

On a Cash out, you can link the spend to a Supplier. If you do, you can also record how much you Paid now:

Paid in full — you've settled the whole amount.
Part-paid — you paid some now; enter the Amount paid.
Unpaid (on credit) — nothing paid yet.

Paid now only affects the supplier's statement (what you still owe them) — it does not change the project's balance. The project's Out always counts the full purchase, because that's what the project spent; whether the supplier is paid yet is tracked separately on their statement. See Add a supplier.

Edit or undo a transaction

Tap a transaction in the timeline to open it.

Edit — change any detail and tap Save changes.
Void — if a transaction was a mistake, void it. You're asked for a short reason, and

you get a one-tap Undo right after in case you change your mind. Voiding keeps the record for your history rather than erasing it.

Who can do this: you can edit or void a transaction you created. A contractor (or staff with the right permission) can manage any transaction on the project.

What else is on the timeline

The timeline mixes more than money. Alongside transactions you'll find Notes (quick updates), Tasks, Activities (progress with photos) and Reminders — all added from the same + button. See Tasks and reminders.

Tips

Pick the currency that matches the cash. Reconstro keeps each currency's balance on its own row.
Use the supplier link on purchases so "what you owe" stays correct without extra work.
Void, don't panic. A wrong entry is one tap to void, with Undo — nothing is lost.
