This standard procedure ensures smooth reconciliation. With Daily Summaries, this account temporarily holds transaction data until a settlement\/payout is processed by your payment platform. Synder then records this as a financial transfer from the clearing account to your primary checking account. Those lines can be seen on the summary preview page as depicted below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXe8BHLq-rXz6HUFwzgOl80o2-Ak1AFv_xGBL-13RxfmYVrPlui9md4pOEXcaiSC-lZ967xUeSj8n4ys9GXn30l2edTMaLm1iZGkVPMtxvjKqstIn-wKiAt2qbJQbqP0-zGLWxh0bEvzL7Ah5ZAArNwV64HB?key=n0rFUQtmpyPPGDK5l6GakA\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"462\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When &#8220;Per-Payout Summary&#8221; is enabled, Synder aggregates all transactions related to a particular payout. This ensures that your clearing account always balances to zero and is automatically reconciled, as journal entries account for these payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfVdxoiLllTs7T2_GFBkD1NfjXERG9gtKNWK98mlQsmJ0OnfjuZ0-82dXc7PHlJ_uzmTUIhZLVlGbD-WdtOuSf_-0fPmFfQVgyfn3O-zrT86Zd93fUVbllRs9nFwAheLNndywsfzGud9Jlls_7hoS4lFxyh?key=n0rFUQtmpyPPGDK5l6GakA\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may occasionally notice clearing account lines on your Summary Preview page. However, after the sync, the journal entry in your books lacks the clearing lines, as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdZ8iw7SGtGGx5OTkJ6MKGwzzRP2JjBeL1k2VxVwkEuUXh3VCaj1MIdMXrfckmwIu2ytcWx3TxEz_kC6CuJlO3lawBE9md_gNMpOqoPcyQxCFQ07hbjceMDH7LGGAcHTF6OKvPgi3jSHaN6WLufC3d0Snz7?key=n0rFUQtmpyPPGDK5l6GakA\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"411\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In these instances, Synder skips synchronization to the clearing account and syncs directly to the bank, eliminating the need to temporarily &#8216;store&#8217; the funds.
