This guide explains how to use Search Expense to review previously recorded outgoing finance entries.

Short summary

Use Search Expense when the finance team needs to locate, filter, and review expense rows after they are entered. The current page uses a filter panel, a paginated results table, and row-level edit and delete actions.

Best for

Finance teams auditing expense history, checking invoice-backed spending, or preparing expenses for correction and review.

Requires

Existing expense rows and permission to view expense records.

Result

The matching expense rows are isolated and ready for inspection, editing, or deletion as allowed by user permissions.

Before you start

Decide whether the review should be limited by date range.
Use the correct expense head when you already know the spending category.
Search by name or invoice reference when many similar rows exist.

Expense -> Search Expense

Step 1: Open Search Expense

In the sidebar, open Expense and choose Search Expense.

Expense Console Search Expense tab showing filters and the results table. — The Search Expense tab is the main review surface for stored outgoing finance entries.

The current filters are:

Expense Head
From Date
To Date
Search

Step 2: Narrow the results set

Use the filters in the order that best matches the review task:

choose Expense Head
set From Date and To Date
enter a Search term for the name or invoice number
click Apply

Use Reset to clear the current filter mix when the table becomes too narrow.

Step 3: Review the expense table

The current table shows:

Date
Expense Head
Name
Invoice No.
Amount
Note
Actions

This is the main place to confirm whether an outgoing payment was logged under the correct category and amount.

Step 4: Edit or delete the correct row

The current UI supports:

clicking the row to open edit
using the row Edit action
using the row Delete action when allowed

Use Edit when category, note, amount, or name details need correction. Use Delete only when the row should be removed from the finance ledger according to your school’s process.

Step 5: Review pagination when the list is long

The page exposes pagination controls:

Previous
Next

If the result set is large, check the page number before assuming a missing row failed to save.

Verify the result

the filter combination reflects the intended review scope
the expected expense rows appear in the table
the expense head and amount match the source documents
edits or deletions are reflected after refresh

Troubleshooting

Issue	Likely cause	What to do
No rows appear	Filters are too restrictive	Reset the filters and widen the date range
Similar rows are hard to distinguish	Names or invoice values are too close	Compare date, head, and amount before changing a row
The row seems missing	Pagination or the current search term is hiding it	Move pages or clear the search box
Finance staff edit the wrong record	They rely only on one field	Verify multiple fields before opening the row
