Transcend/Tessitura Reconciliation Procedures

Former Member
Former Member $organization

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

    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.
