Deposits by time period report explained

The Deposits by time period report consolidates all deposit transactions, offering a comprehensive overview of deposit collections and redemptions over your selected date range.

You can use this report to: 

• Track your cash flow - Deposits represent cash that you have already received. Tracking them through this report can help you understand your current cash flow position and plan accordingly.
• Track refunds - If clients cancel or reschedule, you may need to refund the deposit. Tracking deposit balances ensures you're accountable for the funds and can honour any refunds that might be required.
• Analysing your business' performance - Discover trends, understand customer behaviour, and make informed decisions about your deposit policy by monitoring deposit balances over time.
