# Available Columns

Violet allows you to export financial transactions, from the point of order through payment processing, to eventual payout, with a detailed breakdown of fees, commissions, and other financial metrics related to orders and their components. This page provides details on the columns you are able to export.

**Payouts** are the top level funds receieved in your bank account via Stripe, for a collection of Orders. Key information such as the payout ID, date, and amount are initially null until the transfer initiates.

## Payouts

A payout is generated when money begins to transfer to your bank account. Before that happens the id, date, and amount fields on a distribution record will be null. These fields will always be present as part of a payouts report. They are not customizable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.violet.io/prism/reporting/payouts/columns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
