Entries and Operations

Incomy uses a hierarchical structure to track financial data: Entries are the "containers" for one or more Operations.

Entries​

An Entry represents a real-world event, such as buying groceries or paying rent. It acts as a logical grouping for financial movements.

Common attributes:

  • Name: What happened (e.g., "Dinner at Mario's").
  • Date: When it occurred.
  • Description: Optional notes or details.
  • Template: (Optional) A blueprint used to create the entry.

Operations​

Operations are the actual movements of money. An entry can contain multiple operations. For example, if you buy groceries and pay half from your bank account and half in cash, that single "Grocery" entry would have two operations.

Types of operations:

  • In: Money coming into a wallet.
  • Out: Money leaving a wallet.
  • Transfer: Moving funds between two wallets.

Why this structure?​

By separating Entries from Operations, Incomy allows for complex scenarios:

  • Split Payments: One expense paid by multiple people or from different sources.
  • Mixed Transactions: A single receipt that includes both a personal purchase and a group expense.
