Filters
To control which transactions populate in your report results, use the report filters.
Filter transactions by:
- Enrollment year

Transaction type
- By selecting 'Reversal', the report results will account for reversals of any of the other transaction types that are also selected - e.g. selecting "Charge" and "Reversal" will generate all original charges, and then deduct the charges that were later reversed. Click here to learn more.
- Payment method (applies only to 'payment' and 'refund' transactions)
- Transaction category
- Which payment schedule they're on
- "None" refers to transactions that are not associated to any payment schedules.
- The date when the transaction was created

Reversals
Reversed transactions will generate as 2 separate transactions in the report results: 1) the original transaction and 2) a reversal worth the inverse amount. Summed together, the reversal will zero out the original transaction when the grand total is calculated.
If you do not select to include "Reversals" in the Transaction Types filter of the report, the results will not include reversal transactions - just the original transactions.
If filtering by Date Created, note that the results will only include reversals that occurred during the time frame selected.
