Description

Accounting method

Determines which sales to include based on accounting method. For more information about accrual and cash accounting methods, see FAQ: Reports.

Notes

  • If you select the Accrual & Cash option for this filter, transactions may appear more than once on this page, which will cause an inaccurate value to be displayed in the Total Net Sales summary card.

  • If you used a gift card or your account balance as part of a split payment, the payment will only appear when the Accrual or Accrual & Cash filter options are selected.

  • If an account tab session pass, account tab membership, or dollar value gift card was sold along with other items or as part of a package, they won’t be displayed when Accrual is selected, because no revenue was actually recognized.

Revenue Attribution Method

Determines how items are counted based on their revenue category in the report.

  • Select Primary Category Only to attribute revenue to the items' primary revenue categories to prevent double-counting.

  • Select All Associated Categories to attribute revenue to all the revenue categories associated with the items, which may cause items to be double-counted.

  • Payments applied to purchases on account made before December 16, 2025.

  • Some credit card and ACH auto-payments that initially failed and were later charged to the client's account balance. This issue is resolved for new auto-payments processed on or after March 26, 2026. Affected auto-payments processed before this date will continue to appear as Account Payment.
