Financial Actions by Payout ID Report
Last updated: March 27, 2025
The Financial Actions by Payout ID Report collates all actions during a payment’s lifecycle that impact your currency account's available balance. Together with the Payouts Report, you can reconcile payments and any associated fees against payouts paid out to you.
Understanding the financial impact of each action and any foreign exchange (FX) rates applied also allows you to accurately assess your cost of sale.
The report contains financial actions related to a specific payout ID, listed chronologically. This is useful when reconciling financial actions with a payout paid out to your bank account.
Every row features a unique financial action ID that can be linked to a specific payment, using the payment ID, or a settled payout, using the payout ID.
This report is created when your settlement is generated, between 02:00 and 12:00 in the settlement time zone you've configured in your entity account. Your Financial Actions by Payout ID Report is created for each settlement sent, in line with your specified settlement frequency.
The Financial Actions by Payout ID Report provides a detailed record of all financial activity associated with a specific settlement.
For example, you've set your settlement time zone to America/Los_Angeles Pacific Time (PT) and your business follows a daily settlement cycle. You receive a USD settlement from Checkout.com on August 4, 2023 with the Payout ID 00000000CFJU. Your Settlement Statement with the ID 00000000CFJU on August 4, 2023 explains that settlement. It includes all financial activity held in USD from August 3, 2023, at 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 PT. The report is generated at 12:00 PT on August 4, 2023.
