Executive Summary
The All Payments Report is a primary transaction audit and cash governance tool within the π³ Payments & Transactions and βοΈ Ledgers & Trial Balance modules. Designed for complete payment transparency and gateway reconciliation, it logs every monetary tender processed across the property during a selected operational date range in a unified, single-table ledger.
By capturing detailed transaction metadataβincluding account category types (Type), card tokens (Last 4 Digits), gateway approvals (Approval Code, Transaction Reference Number), cashier attributions (Username), and corporate billing linkages (Company Name, GL Account Code)βthis report empowers controllers and night auditors to audit cashier shifts, verify credit card processing gateway deposits, and reconcile ledger postings with zero variance.
