Tip of the Week: Daily Reconciliation of Your IAR Sales Report

ARC strongly recommends reconciling IAR sales reports daily. A final reconciliation should also be performed before sales report authorization/submission. The final net remittance of the report is the amount ARC will draft to or from your bank account.

The following daily IAR sales report checks will:

  • Verify that all documents and voids are correctly listed.

  • Verify that all transactions were legitimately issued by your agency (to guard against unauthorized ticketing).

  • Correct any errors.

  • Verify all commission amounts.

  • Verify that all refund transactions are accurate and that their values include any penalty information or waiver code (if applicable).

  • Verify that all exchange transactions are accurate and that their values include any penalty information or waiver code (if applicable).

  • Verify that all residual value MCOs/EMDs are properly linked to their associated exchange transaction as companion exchanges.

  • Verify that all other companion exchanges (exchanges that involve more than one new document) have all additional new documents correctly linked.

  • Verify any GDS void of a companion exchange transaction has been processed in IAR. IAR rejects void requests of either document once linked into a companion exchange transaction. The void of either document is only allowed when the companion link is manually broken by removing/unhooking the second new document from the transaction within the next business day after issuance.

  • Verify all IAR modifications and voids are completed prior to the expiration of the transaction’s next business day window date.

  • Verify cash and credit totals.

  • Verify the net remit amount.
