Understanding the Payments Report

Walkthrough of the Payments report's filters, summary tiles, charts, and the Payments detail table.

The Payments report gives you a full picture of the money customers have paid you — how much came in, how it was paid, whether it's been applied to an invoice yet, and where to find any specific transaction.

Step 1 — Filter Your Data

Across the top of the report are six filters. You don't have to use all of them — leave any filter blank and it simply won't narrow anything down.

Filter

What it does

Payment Date

Filters to payments made within a date range you choose.

Location

Narrows the report to one or more specific yards or branches.

Customers

Narrows the report to one or more specific customers.

On Account Status

Filters by the account billing status of the payment — for example, whether it relates to a customer's on-account/credit terms.

Applied Payments

Filters by whether the payment has been applied to an invoice yet.

Payment Status

Filters by the payment's status, such as succeeded, pending, or failed.

Working with the Payment Date Filter

Payment Date is a date filter. Clicking it opens the same style of menu you'll see on other Quipli reports: a quick preset (Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days, and similar), a Fixed Date Range for an exact start and end date, or a Relative Date Range that automatically stays current as time passes.

Step 2 — Read the Summary Tiles

The tiles across the top break your total payments down several ways:

  • Grand Total — every payment in the filtered period.

  • Total # of Payments — how many individual payments make up that total.

  • Total - Credit/Debit — payments made by credit or debit card.

  • Total - Cash/Check/ACH — payments made by cash, check, or bank transfer.

  • Total - Unapplied — money a customer has paid you that hasn't been tied to an invoice yet.

  • Total - Failed/Pending — payments that haven't successfully cleared.

  • Total - Refunds — money refunded back to customers.

  • Total - On Account — payments billed to a customer's on-account/credit terms.

Step 3 — Read the Charts

Payments by location shows payment volume over time, broken out by location, so you can compare how each branch is trending.

Top 10 Customer ranks your ten largest customers by total payments in the filtered period.

Step 4 — Use the Payments Table to Find a Specific Transaction

Below the charts, the Payments table lists every individual payment, with its own filters — Invoice Number, Transaction ID, and Payment Method — for jumping straight to a specific one. You can look up or sort by:

Column

What it tells you

Customer

Who made the payment.

Invoice Number

The invoice the payment is tied to.

Location Name

Which yard or branch the payment is associated with.

Paid At

When the payment was made.

Applied At

When the payment was applied to an invoice.

Payment Method

How the customer paid — Stripe, check, cash, and so on.

Card Brand

The card network used, if paid by card.

Last 4

The last four digits of the card used, if paid by card.

Check #

The check number, if paid by check.

Status

Whether the payment succeeded, is pending, or failed.

Amount

The dollar amount of the payment.

On Account Status

Whether the payment relates to a customer's on-account/credit terms.

Downloading Report Data

Every module on the report — tiles, charts, and the Payments table alike — has a menu in its top-right corner. Click it and choose the download option to export that module's results on their own, without needing to download the whole report.
