How do I reconcile a cash or card payment in agentOS?
After recording a cash or card payment on a client's profile, you must mark it as banked before you can reconcile it to your bank statement. Cash payments are marked via Make a Bank Deposit; card payments via Bank Card Payments — both found within your bank account in agentOS.
Once you have used the Take a Payment feature to record a cash or card payment against a client's profile in agentOS, you will need to complete an additional step to mark the payment as banked. This converts it into a payment group that can then be matched to a real bank statement entry.
For guidance on recording the initial payment, see: How do I record a cash or card payment received from a client in agentOS?
