Voucher Summary Report

Written by Marie London

We're excited to bring you an expanded reporting experience. If you don't see the reporting features described below, don't worry—this updated reporting experience will become available to your account over time.

Overview

The Voucher Summary report helps you get a high-level view of how your voucher liability has changed over a selected period. It shows starting and ending liability by location, along with everything that moved it in between — issuance, redemptions, expirations, voids, and manual adjustments — so you can see the full picture without reviewing individual vouchers.

Use this report to reconcile voucher liability for accounting reviews and end-of-period closes, and to confirm your books reflect what's actually outstanding. It's especially useful for month-to-month analysis, since you can set a wider date range and group by a smaller interval to see starting liability, ending liability, and liability movement for each period within that range in a single report.

Note: This is a summary, not a voucher-level list — every figure is aggregated at the location level, so to see individual vouchers, clients, or who processed a specific event, use the Voucher Activity report instead.

Report Caveats

There are a few important caveats and limitations to be aware of when using this report. Use these details to better understand how the data behaves and how to interpret it correctly.

Caveats

Details and Impact

Supports starting and ending liability across multiple reporting periods.

Previously, this report could only show liability for a single fixed period (for example, a full year). If users wanted to analyze liability month by month, they had to run the report separately for each month.

With this capability, users can set a larger data period (e.g., one year) and then group the results by a smaller time interval (e.g., month). This allows the report to display starting liability, ending liability, and liability changes for each period within the selected range, enabling easier month-to-month analysis in a single report.

This is a summary, not a voucher list

Every figure is aggregated at the location level. To see individual vouchers, clients, or who processed an event, use the Voucher activity report; this report tells you how much moved, not which voucher.

The balances follow the selling location

Starting Liability, Ending Liability, and Net Liability Change are attributed to the location that sold the voucher. Redemptions of its vouchers reduce its balance even when redeemed elsewhere.

Inbound redemptions are informational only

Redemptions – Other Location (Inbound) shows vouchers sold elsewhere but used at this location. It is excluded from this location's Net Liability Change and Ending Liability, because that liability belongs to the selling location.
