Liability summary report
Liability summary report
Analyze, track and manage your business's liability activities with the Liability Summary Report.
Liability summary report explained
The Liability summary report provides a summary of different liability activities handled by your business.
A liability is when you collect money from selling gift cards or taking deposits, but you haven't provided the service yet. This is different from regular sales where you collect the money as soon as the service is provided.
NOTE: Deposits liability activities are associated with the location where the appointment took place.
Using the Liability summary report
The Liability summary report can be used to see an overall picture of the different liability activities such as collections, redemptions, expirations and refunds. To effectively utilize the Liability summary report, select your desired date range, and filter your report to refine the data, ensuring a focused analysis of liability activities.
Date range
Select a date range using the calendar drop-down menu to view data within a specific time frame. The date range filter is based on the day the activity took place, and includes the start and end date of the selected date range.
