Balance Platform Accounting Report

Get an overview of all financial activities on your balance platform.

The Balance Platform Accounting Report is a daily report that tracks all balance changes on all balance accounts in your balance platform, including liable accounts and the accounts of your users.

There is also a customizable accounting report: the Balance Platform Accounting Interactive Report. This report has the same type of data as the Balance Platform Accounting Report but lets you:

  • Specify a date range so that you can get balance changes for more than one day.
  • Filter the report on account holder and balance account.

You can generate both these reports in your Balance Platform Customer Area either automatically based on a schedule, or manually for a specific day.

The information on this page applies to both the Balance Platform Accounting Report and the Balance Platform Accounting Interactive Report.

Purpose

You can use the information from the Balance Platform Accounting Report to:

  • Confirm all processed payments.
  • Confirm internal transfers between balance accounts.
  • Confirm payouts to your users' bank accounts.
  • Track payment fees, costs, and invoice deductions.

We recommend that you use API responses and webhooks to track individual payment transactions, and update your ledgers accordingly. That gives you the most up-to-date status of each payment. You can then reconcile funds from all payments on a daily basis using only the Balance Platform Accounting Report.

Concepts

To help you interpret the report, the following sections explain some aspects in a bit more detail:

Transfers and transactions

To understand how money movements are shown in the report, you need to know about transfers and transactions:

  • Transfer: an event where the credit or debit is pending and no real money movement has taken place. The payment or transfer is initiated, and then authorized or refused. Linked events share the same Transfer Id. Refunds initiate a new flow where separate received, authorised, and refunded events are created with a new Transfer Id that does not link to the original payment.
  • Transactions: an event where the credit or debit is booked on the balance and real money movement has taken place. If a payment or transfer doesn't have a Transaction Id, no money movement has taken place yet. You can link a transaction to a transfer by matching the Transfer Id.

Events in the report

The following report columns help you track the lifecycle of the payments to your balance platform and of other financial events that happened:

  • Category: the event category. For example, platformPayment indicates a booking in relation to payment processing; internal indicates an internal transfer; and bank indicates a payout.
  • Type: the type of event in a particular category. For example, in the platformPayment category, the type can be capture, refund, chargeback and more.
  • Status: the status of the event. For example, a transfer can be booked.

The report contains all events on the day the status update took place.

Value-date accounting

The report uses value-date accounting. When you reconcile your transactions, note the difference between the booking date and the value date. The booking date is when the event (like a payment) took place, and the value date is when the actual balance is credited or debited to a balance account. In the example report below, the transaction was received, authorized, and captured on 2022-04-28. The value date is 2022-04-30 when the balance is available.

Value dates are not always in the future. Bookings that have an immediate impact on the balance may have a value date on or before the booking date.
