# Cash Receipts

The **Cash Receipts** tab on [Accounting](/reference/accounting.md) lists received event payments that still need QuickBooks review. Each row lets you check a payment's event, client, amount, and accounting status before taking action.

## Payments in the list

This list contains paid event payments, including paid payment schedules, that have not been successfully recorded through this accounting process. It does not list retail-plan payments or tip-only payments. Failed receipts remain in the list so you can review the problem.

Use **Refresh** to load the latest information. A receipt that has been synced or marked already synced no longer appears in this workspace list.

## Read the table

* **Payment date** is the date the payment was recorded as paid.
* **Event** identifies the event and its status. Select the event name to open it.
* **Client** identifies the client selected for accounting. A **Signer** label identifies the contract signer, and an additional-client count indicates that the event has other clients.
* **Payment** identifies the received payment.
* **Amount** is the post-refund base amount applied to the event balance. It excludes tips and application fees, so it can differ from the total collected by the payment processor.
* **QuickBooks** shows invoice or payment references when available.
* **Status** tells you what is ready or what needs to be resolved.
* **Action** opens the receipt review or the page needed to address the status.

## Receipt statuses

**Ready to sync receipt** means the required setup and client connection are present. Select **Review** to check the details before syncing.

**Needs client** means the event needs a FlowerBuddy client for this receipt. Open the event and review its clients. **Needs QBO customer** means the selected client needs to be connected to a QuickBooks customer; open the receipt review to manage that connection.

**Needs setup** directs you to the [Accounts tab](/reference/accounting/accounts.md) to complete the deferred-revenue settings. **Failed** means the previous attempt did not complete; open the review and read the displayed error before retrying.

The **Ready for review** and **Needs attention** counts summarize the current list. They are not payment totals.

## Review a payment

Follow [Review and sync a cash receipt](/reference/accounting/cash-receipts/review-and-sync-a-receipt.md) to create the corresponding QuickBooks records. If the receipt was already entered in QuickBooks outside FlowerBuddy, use [Mark a cash receipt already synced](/reference/accounting/cash-receipts/mark-a-receipt-already-synced.md) instead to avoid creating duplicate records.
