Cost Control
You can work across every cost item in the set at once instead of account by account.
The Cost Items panel shows one account at a time. **Cost Item List** shows every item in the set in one flat grid — which is the view you want when the question spans accounts.
Open it from **Cost Item List** in the toolbar.
Every item, with the account it belongs to alongside it:
| Column | Why it is here | | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | **Acc. No.** · **Account Name** | which account the item is on | | **Date** · **Pay Date** | when it was booked and when it was paid | | **Description** · **Reference** | what it is | | **Expected** · **Paid** · **Cur.** | the money | | **Effects** · **Tags** · **Producer** | its classification | | **Attachments** | files attached to the item |
- **Finding one booking** when you know the reference but not the account. - **Reviewing a whole import** — everything that arrived, in one place. - **Fixing misfiled items in bulk** — select several and move them — see [move cost items to another account](/kb/article/move-cost-items-to-another-account). - **Clearing out the Unmapped account** after an import that could not match everything.
Select rows and act on them together: **Delete Selected**, **Copy Selection to Clipboard** (which takes their attachments too), or **Export** — an export produces a zip carrying the items and their attachments, and tells you how many it will include.
**Find Duplicates** is there for the problem this view exists to catch: the same cost booked twice, usually a hand-entered commitment plus the imported invoice that never matched it.
Each row has a **Go to** action that takes you to that item on its account, for when the flat list has found the thing and you now want its context.
