Reconcile a balance mismatch

Get the totals of a reconciliation period and use them to reconcile balance mismatches between the terminal and POS app.

You may need to reconcile the balance between your terminal and POS app when a mismatch occurs. For example, if the connection dropped at some point and your POS app doesn't receive the final response.

Use the ReconciliationRequest to:

  • Get the totals of the current reconciliation period and start a new period using ReconciliationType SaleReconciliation.

  • Get the report of a previous reconciliation period using ReconciliationType PreviousReconciliation and POIReconciliationID **NNN*** . In this case, no new reconciliation period is started.
