A practical guide to tracking payments, top-ups, and reimbursements for crystal-clear expense management.
In today's fast-paced spending environment, maintaining a clear financial picture is crucial. LitBuy empowers you to move from scattered receipts to a seamlessly organized record of every transaction. This systematic approach to tracking payment history, fund top-ups, and reimbursements unlocks true financial transparency and control.
The Pillars of Organized Financial Tracking
Effective record-keeping rests on three core pillars that work together to provide a complete financial narrative.
1. Comprehensive Payment History
Record every
2. Diligent Top-Up Tracking
Monitor the inflow of funds into your spending accounts (e.g., e-wallets, gift cards, transit cards). Record:
- Top-up date and source account.
- Amount added to your balance.
- Current total balance after top-up.
3. Systematic Reimbursement Management
For business or shared expenses, avoid lost money by tracking:
- Expense incurred (linked to a payment record).
- Reimbursement status: Pending, Submitted, or Paid.
- Date reimbursed and received amount.
