## The checks

| Check | Where | Passes when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Each settlement adds up | Commerce → Settlements | No settlement says **Check** |
| Walmart's reports read | Settlements → Walmart | None says **Needs a look** |
| Noon's balance | Settlements → Noon | **Your books agree with Noon** |
| Clearing at zero | Balance sheet | Only payouts still on their way |
| Stock compared | Inventory → Stock | **Matches** for each product |
| Noon's stock reports | Stock movements | Noon's two reports agree |
| Bank against books | Banking → Bank accounts | **Matches** |
| Reconciled | Accounting → Reconcile | Difference 0.00 through the month end |

## When one doesn't pass

- A settlement that says Check: open it; the groups show where the lines and Amazon's total part ways.
- Clearing not at zero: a payout not matched yet, or a deposit categorised as sales.
- Stock off: months not posted, units lost outside a marketplace, or a delivery not recorded.
- Bank off: a missing statement, or a transaction entered twice.
