How Reconciliation Works

The process revolves around a custom record called CC Eway Queue Manager record  that is, accessed from Transactions / Eway Reconciliation / Queue Manager.

A new Queue record is created each time the process runs. Each time the process runs, it automatically works through these statuses:

  1. Files Created
  2. Summary Records Created
  3. Detail Records Reconciled

Once the Records have been reconciled, two additional processes can be manually kicked off,

  1. Process Merchant Fees
  2. Transfer Summaries

When the summary records have been transferred, the queue record is marked as complete.

Reconciliation Workflow

The following diagram outlines the workflow that is used to complete the reconciliation.

Process Overview and Relationship to the data.

This Queue Record manages the process, which at a high level is:

  1. Extract the files from Eway
  2. Create the Settlement Summary and Details Records
  3. Reconcile the Transactions
  4. Process the Merchant Fees
  5. Transfer the Settlement Balance to the Bank Account

Reconciliation Messages

When the data is reconciled, it is available for review on the Queue Record, under the Settlement Detail Tab:

This list keeps a record of the Detail records, what they were reconciled to, and the result. Additionally, a message is added that indicates what action has been taken on the record. No message means nothing was changed.
