Transaction Categories & Reporting
Leader focus
Focus on troop operations, member workflows, and event execution guidance.
- Review member onboarding and event coordination steps before rollout.
- Escalate financial approval needs to a treasurer when required.
This guide explains how TroopForge handles non-event withdrawal categories and operational reporting, with role-specific instructions for treasurers, leaders, parents, and scouts.

Lifecycle: Configure Categories, Process Requests, and Report
Transaction category and reporting workflows move through three connected stages in TroopForge.
- Treasurer defines and maintains transaction request categories.
- Members submit withdrawal requests and treasurers approve or deny them.
- Leaders and treasurers review reporting views and export files for follow-up and reconciliation.
