A Code List is a list of codes that helps you categorise your transactions. Your Code List will help you sort your income, expenses and other transactions into groups. This will help give you a picture of your cash flow and produce a report to show you where your income and expenses are going.

You’ll be able to choose from 3 Code List options:

1. Default Code List

• This is a great start if you don’t already have a list – it includes many different categories you’ll find useful. It is designed for a Business Profile.
• You can edit, add to or delete from the default Code List or view an example of this list.

2. Create your own

• You can manually set up your own Code List. View an example of how this may look.
• You decide what to name your Sub-Categories based on Main Category codes – Income, Expenses, Other and Fixed.

3. Import a Code List

• You can use an existing Code List, by importing it into Business Cash Plan
• This could be a Code List you’re already using or one that has been recommended to you by someone else.
• This needs to be in a particular format called a CSV file
• Have a look at the ‘Import Guide’ to help you import your Code List.
