FormBuilder - How to Reconcile Check Payments

FormBuilder forms that capture check payments from users require manual intervention from the unit administrator or form group administrator to reconcile the check payment once it is received. This document explains the process of reconciling check payments once the check has been received.

How to reconcile a FormBuilder check payment, once the check has been received from the user making the payment.

When a user pays for something via FormBuilder with check, they are essentially "promising" to pay and their registration is not complete until they have sent their check.  Once the unit receives the given check, the administrator must then mark that check transaction as paid to change the Payment Status for the given form response from "Promised" to "Success".   By reconciling the checks once the unit receives them...they will have an accurate count of which check transactions have been received and reconciled, and which checks are still outstanding.  

If the given form accepts check payments, make sure to include Transaction Payment Status and Transaction Payment Method as fields on your report so that an administrator can tell which checks have been received and reconciled.  This is an example of a check transaction that has not yet been received and Marked as Paid, as the Transaction Payment Status shows as "Promised".

Once the given check has been received by the unit, an administrator from the unit will need to access the given transaction in Response Data/Manage.
