What specific challenge or problem does this idea solve? |
The current "Payments and Credits by Type Report" does not include the transaction code, which is crucial for tracking specific payments. This gap creates difficulties when billing for items like costumes or competition entries, as we transfer those funds to a separate bank account and need a reliable way to reconcile the exact amounts involved. Additionally, in the "Payments and Credits by Transaction Code and Payment Type" report, "e-transfer" payments, which are a standard DSP payment type, are missing. Since this is not a custom payment type, its omission limits our ability to categorize and track these transactions effectively. |
How should this work? |
Ensure that "e-transfer" payments and other payment options are available as an option in the "Payments and Credits by Transaction Code and Payment Type" report for accurate reporting and tracking. |
Who will benefit (Admins, Staff, Students)? |
Admin and Staff. |
How will this change impact your daily tasks or overall experience? |
This change is fundamental to our reconciliation process and daily financial operations. Without transaction codes in the "Payments and Credits by Type Report," we struggle to accurately track and separate funds for specific charges, such as costumes and competition entries, which are deposited into a different bank account. This forces us to rely on manual workarounds, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies. Additionally, the omission of "e-transfer" payments from the "Payments and Credits by Transaction Code and Payment Type" report limits our ability to categorize and track one of the most commonly used payment methods. This creates inconsistencies in our financial records and complicates our end-of-month reconciliations. By implementing this change, DSP would streamline our financial tracking, improve accuracy, and reduce the time spent on manual reconciliation, ultimately allowing us to operate more efficiently. |
