Time Period Mismatch: Ensure that the period in the Global Management Summary report matches the relevant timeframe in the Cashup application. Discrepancies in reporting periods can cause mismatched values.
-
Unaccounted Linked Payouts: Ensure all Linked Payouts are properly accounted for in Cashup and your gaming systems and are included in your analysis.
-
Unclaimed Movement Discrepancies: If the Unclaimed Movements total does not match the Unclaimed Movement total on the Global Management Summary report, recheck the report for errors or missing data.
- Ensure all EFT / Cheque Payouts have been entered into Cashup.
-
Make sure there is no duplication of values entered into Cashup under the Payout fields.
- Example 1: If a CRT Short Pay occurs, the short pay amount should not be included in the CRT Payouts if it has already been entered as a manual CCU Payout (manual cash payout).
- Example 2: For an EFT payment, ensure that the EFT amount does not overlap with any Cash Payout totals, especially if the payment was split. Manual Cash Payout amounts should be entered separately in the CCU/AutoPay Cash Payout fields.
