What this page is for
This page shows one settlement in full: the figures recorded for the whole remittance, and every statement line with whether it matched a receipt or a payment. While any part is unmatched the batch stays Open and cannot be posted. Posting recognises the fees and moves the clearing balance to the bank in your accounts, and a posted settlement can never be changed.
Only people whose role can view payments see this page. Posting needs a role that can manage payments.
The figures: Gross, Gross matched, Not matched, Fees kept, Disputed and Net received. Net received must always equal gross matched, less fees and anything disputed, plus anything not yet matched.
Each statement line shows its Reference, Gross, Fee and Net, what it Clears — a link to the payment or receipt it discharges — and whether it is Matched or Not matched.
How to…
How to post a settlement
Only while the batch is Open and carries no unmatched residue.
- Press Post settlement.
- Confirm. The fees are recognised and the clearing balance moves to the bank in the ledger. This cannot be undone.
How to deal with an unmatched line
A note reads Part of this remittance is not matched to a receipt or payment, so it cannot be posted yet. Check the line's reference against Payments or the unresolved payments queue, and correct the settlement if a reference was mistyped, or wait for the match if the receipt has not yet arrived.
Worked examples
Supermarket
A settlement for Tumaini Supermarket shows Gross KES 148,500.00 and Net received KES 145,530.00, with every line Matched. The accountant presses Post settlement, and the clearing account for M-Pesa in the books falls by the amount received.
Restaurant and bar
A card settlement for The Acacia Grill & Bar carries one Not matched line of KES 450 (Kenyan shillings) because the slip's reference was keyed wrong at the till. The manager corrects the line on a fresh settlement, confirms the stray card capture on the unresolved queue is the same transaction, and posts once nothing is left unmatched.
