#### **Description**

##### *Financial meaning*

**Base transactions** are the core financial actions that record what actually happens with your money or investments. They’re the most essential and original records in a financial system — like receipts for everything going in or out of your portfolio.

##### *Platform abstraction*

**Base Transactions** in the Finmars platform represent the **core building blocks of financial activity tracking**. Each base transaction shows the **essential details** of a financial action (like a purchase, sale, or cash movement), but in a simplified format — before it's split into accounting entries like cash or positions.
