Payment Reconciliation: Submitted / Processed
The Payment Reconciliation page allows users to effectively track and manage the status of payments within a defined time period. This report is specifically designed to reconcile the dollar value of received payments with your bank or credit card merchant by comparing the amounts charged between the two. Users can filter results to view either submitted or processed payments.

Best Practices & Considerations
-
Reconciliation Focus: The Payment Reconciliation report is the correct tool for comparing system payments with bank/merchant payments.
-
Avoid Daily Payments Itemized for Reconciliation Tasks: The Daily Payments Itemized report shows received payments, but it is not recommended for reconciliation because it may display tax differently and can lead to rounding errors, making dollar-value comparison inaccurate.
