Where will I find this report in Edge?
This report is housed under Financials > Deposit Reconciliation Report in Edge Web. This will be a new tab under the Financials section to easily review all financial data in one area. This report is currently not available to view on Edge Mobile app.
What will I find on the Deposit Reconciliation Report?
There are up to three categories of deposits presented in the report (depending on whether your American Express transactions are processed separately):
Did the cash physically received at the register make it to the bank?
We recommend daily bank deposits to maximize consistency between your POS reporting and your bank deposits. Monitoring this regularly also minimizes the opportunity for theft and (by identifying issues early) the magnitude of theft.
Many customers who accept American Express use a separate merchant processor for those transactions; accordingly, Ceterus tracks these deposits separately.

How does Ceterus account for revenue?
Ceterus recognizes revenue on the date the sale is made at your cash register/point of sale system. In general, there will always be a delay of 1 to 4 business days between recognition of sale and the corresponding deposit to your bank account; either you need to bring cash deposits to the bank or you are awaiting a credit card merchant processor to deposit funds to your bank account.
