Best Practices and Considerations

• Audit historical transactions: Always enable the Show archived sales checkbox when conducting comprehensive financial audits. This ensures that permits that were sold but subsequently released or switched are still accurately accounted for in your overall revenue reconciliation.

• Leverage Excel exports: Organizations should use the View Details in Excel feature for complex data manipulation. While the on-screen table provides an excellent quick overview, exporting the raw data allows administrators to build custom pivot tables and cross-reference sales with external accounting software seamlessly.
