With the Payment Reconciliation Report, you can balance the Payment Journal and the Daily Register to the Statistical Payment Analysis reports and the Summary Aged A/R report.
Since the statistical payment analysis reports only reflect the payments which have been 'applied to transactions' and do not list any unallocated payments, the payment reconciliation report is required to provide the necessary figures for balancing.

The figures included on this report for the specified month, are: the total payments posted, the total payment amount not allocated, a breakdown of any previously unallocated payments that were allocated (re-applied) during the specified month, and a grand total of the allocated payments for the month.
The information included in the breakdown for any previously unallocated payments that were allocated is: account number, the date the payments was allocated, the line item number on the daily payment journal that reflects where the payment was allocated, and the amount allocated.
The grand total is calculated by taking the total payments for the month and subtracting any payments that were left unallocated at the time of posting. Then, any previously unallocated payments that were applied during the specified month are added to that figure, resulting in the grand total.
The amounts on the following reports should balance and match:
'Total Payments' amount on the Payment Reconciliation report should balance and match the:
'Grand Total Payments' amount on the Daily Register
The 'Amount' total listed for the 'Grand Total of Pmts' on the Posted Payments Journal
'Total' amount for Payments on the Summary Aged A/R report
'Unallocated Payments' amount on the Payment Reconciliation report should balance and match the:
The 'Unapplied Amount' total listed for the 'Grand Total of Pmts' on the Posted Payments Journal
'Grand Total' amount on the Payment Reconciliation report should balance and match the:
'Summary Analysis by Doctor' amount on the Payment Reconciliation report
'Summary Analysis by 'Location' amount on the Payment Reconciliation report
'Grand Total Pmts' amount on the Summary Analysis report
'Grand Total' amount on the Payment Analysis report (sorted by doctor or location)
If the totals do not match for all of those figures, contact customer service for assistance.
