Adding manual transactions to a bank account in PocketSmith
You can add manual transactions to an account or a grouped account from the Transaction page.
This is primarily useful if you are entering all transactions manually or you need to add a missing historical transaction.
📝 Note
You should only add transactions that have already occurred, not transactions with a future date. You should instead use budgets for upcoming payments.

Manually add transactions to an account
⚠️ Warning
If you use bank feeds or bank files to import your transactions for an account, we don't recommend adding transactions manually, as this may lead to duplicate data. If you're missing transactions from your bank feed, you can add manual transactions temporarily, but be sure to delete these manual transactions if your missing bank feed transactions start coming in.
The only exception is to add historical missing transactions or if you have been directed to add transactions by our Support Team.
