Hi all,
I am working on putting together written procedures for a monthly Tessitura/Transcend/credit card statement reconciliation process here at Yale. I would love to hear from anyone who is currently doing this. What reports do you pull from Tessitura and Transcend? Have you created any custom reports? Any pitfalls I need to be aware of? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Mara
Mara –
I reconcile Tessitura and Transcend for each day to find irregularities, which we seem to have more of than before Transcend. Right now I’m working on a charge that went through twice in Transcend, but only once in Tess. I compare the Tess posting reports to Transcend’s Batch Details by Card Type report. We sometimes have temporary variances with our web sales due, I assume, to timing differences in when the batches close, so I wait a day or two to see if those correct themselves before putting time into investigating them.

We also compare the Batch Details by Card Type report in Transcend daily with the posting report.We created a excel settlement sheet that we use to enter the totals from both reports and through a simple "EXACT" formula compare the two.
