What does it mean?

In the sales ledger function of TourCMS, you can find reconciled and unreconciled balances that agents owe you and vice versa.

Where can I find it?

This function can be found on the Homepage under BOOKINGS > MONEY (SALES LEDGER)

On the main screen of the sales ledger, you will see:

1. The number of unrecondiled payments.

2. A link to create your own sales ledger report.

3. Direct links to several predefined reports.

4. The latest payments you owe your agents.

Below, we explain all of these points.

1. Unreconciled payments

First of all, we'll see how to reconcile a payment. Once you open an individual booking, you can add a payment by clicking on Add a new sales ledger payment/refund or under the tab Money by clicking New payment/refund.

There is a checkbox at the end that informs if the payment is or not reconciled with the bank, for reporting purposes.

We can also edit an existing payment and marck this checkbox once the payment has been reconciled for the bank.

2. Sales ledger payments search

This function allows you to create your own sales ledger report by selecting dates according to the payment or booking date, channel, reconciled or unreconciled payments and by payment or refund.
