| Transaction ID | Text/Number (auto-generated) | Unique identifier (e.g., TRN-20240516-01) using =TEXT(TODAY(), "YYYYMMDD")&"-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "00"). |
| Category | Drop-down List (Invoice, Expense, Reimbursement, Payment, Refund) | List validated using Data Validation to ensure consistent classification. |
| Description | Text (max 255 characters) | Clear explanation of the transaction (e.g., “Office Supplies – Printer Ink”). |
| Vendor/Employee Name | Text | Name of vendor, supplier, or employee submitting a reimbursement. |
| Amount (USD) | Currency (Format: $#,##0.00) | Numeric value with positive for expenses/outflows, negative for refunds/inflows. |
