Financial actions reports
Last updated: April 10, 2024
Financial actions reports provide an accurate representation of all actions during a payment’s lifecycle that impact your currency account's available balance. Together with the payouts reports, 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 reports come in two forms:
Financial actions by date range: contains financial actions across a specified time period.
Financial actions by payout ID: contains financial actions related to a specific payout ID—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.
Both reports feature identical field names and list records chronologically.
Financial actions reports come in CSV format with the file name following these templates:
- Financial actions by date range:
financial-actions_{Your Entity-ID}_{Start Date Range:YYYYMMDD}_{End Date Range:YYYYMMDD}_1.csv
- Financial actions by payout ID:
financial-actions_{Your Entity-ID}_{Payout date: YYYYMMDD}_{PayoutID}_1.csv
The availability of your reports depends on the type of financial action report available to you.
These reports are created between 03:00:00 and 12:00:00 in the timezone configured in your entity account. You can decide for the financial actions by date range report to generate on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
For example, if your timezone is set to America/Los_Angeles
(Pacific Time) and financial actions occur on August 3, 2023, the daily financial actions report captures all financial movements from August 3, 2023, at 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 Pacific Time (PT). This report is created by 12:00:00 PT on August 4, 2023.
These reports are created when your settlement is generated, between 02:00 and 12:00 in the timezone 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, consider that your timezone is set to America/Los_Angeles
(Pacific Time) 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 report 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 Pacific Time (PT). The report is created by 12:00 Pacific Time (PT) on August 4, 2023.
