Common Report Questions
Q: Why do I see so many Internal Transfer transactions on this report when we did not complete this many?
A: If you have reservations using Recurring Billing, the Transfer Internal transactions indicate money being moved to individual invoices on the reservation. These transactions do not indicate additional payments happening. For example: if a guest pays $1000 towards their longterm reservation using Recurring Billing, the money will be allocated across the invoices there. The system will show that as Internal Transfer payments towards the individual invoices. This can also happen if no payment is taken but you change a reservation from a single invoice to Recurring Billing. To learn more about Recurring Billing visit this article.
Note: The sum of all Internal Transfer payments should be equal to $0. If this does not equal $0, that is an indication that Internal Transfer was selected as a payment method when processing a new payment.
Q: What does a P with a dash and a string of numbers mean under the Internal Transfer section of this report?
A: Under the Invoice Number category for Internal Transfers you will see P- and a string of numbers. This number is the guest's User Credit account number. This number is only used internally for Campspot and you will not need to reference it.
Q: Why doesn't the Credit Card payments total on my Total Payments Received report match with the amount deposited in my bank account from the Card Processor for the same date range?
A: The amount deposited in your bank account from the credit card processor should match the amount of credit card sales from your Total Payments Received report for the same date range. One common reason these may not match is if your credit card batch time is not at midnight. If your credit card batch time is earlier than midnight and you had payments come in after the batch time, those payments would not be deposited with that same day. This article walks you through how to check and update your batch time.
