Cashier reports - categories defined

Balancing reports are about payments, generally without fee details, posting info for physical balancing in sending monies to your local bank type level. More what's in your cash box for the day, what you are depositing to the bank, but not really about how it was used or applied.

Key report: Payments Received by Method.
Reconciliation reports are about monies applied to fees (accounts), these are not about when the payment was posted, but instead when money is applied to fees - which then becomes reportable to the associated accounts. Money can be applied, then unapplied, then reapplied again, and reconciliation transactional reports will show this activity that rolls up to reportable revenue.

Key report: Transactions Applied by Account and Payment Method.
External payments reports are about monies that are considering pass-through, non-revenue - like State Surcharge, Affordable Housing, 3rd Party Report (needed only if we have configured your fees for percentage-based splits with your daily third party), and School Construction Excise Tax (CET).

Key reports: State Surcharge v3, State Surcharge Details v3, CET v3, CET Transactions, and 3rd Party Report.
Audit reports are exactly as stated, different types of reports that allow you to audit various financial type information available in the system. These are applicable to most agencies or industry type requests and needs-to-know.

Key report: Active Agency Fees – do not use for fee updates.
