IN BRIEF
The Bank Deposit Report (FIN-2) tracks all income activity within a specified date range, including new payments, credits, refunds, and deleted or failed transactions. The report helps administrators reconcile operational deposits by detailing payment methods, payment statuses, and where adjustments impact totals.
Overview
The Bank Deposit Report provides a detailed list of payments recorded during the designated date range. It includes the Active Date, payment method, credit card type and last four digits (if applicable), transaction or check number (if manually entered), payment amount, and the family name (listed as the primary guardian). The payment status is also displayed.
Approved payments display once using the original created date. If approval occurred on a different day, the approval date is shown beside the payment status.

Advanced Details
- If payments are both taken and voided/refunded on the same day (or within the report’s date range), the report displays:
- A positive entry for the original payment
- A negative entry for the void/refund
These entries cancel each other out to avoid affecting totals.
- If the payment and refund/void occur on different days (or only one falls within the selected range), each appears on its corresponding date as separate entries.
- Deleted and failed payments always appear at the bottom of the report in the Deleted/Failed Payments section with status notes.
- Filters related to enrollments produce results that match the As of Date selected.
- If you frequently use the same filter settings, you can save Preset Filters and load them when generating the report.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
-
Why do I see both a positive and negative entry for the same payment?
- Payments voided/refunded on the same date (or within the selected range) show both entries so the refund offsets the original payment without influencing totals.
-
Why is a staff member I selected not appearing on the report?
- Staff appear only if associated with payments or credits created within the selected date range. Deleted or newly created staff may also affect results based on timing.
-
Why are deleted or failed payments shown separately?
- These entries appear at the bottom of the report to keep operational totals accurate while still providing visibility into deleted/failed activity.
-
Are payment statuses included?
- Yes. Each payment includes a status indicator showing whether it was approved, failed, voided, refunded, or deleted.
