Entries
Accounting Ledger
Viewing your account activity is made simple with Entries. Entries provides a chronological ledger of your financial activity. In Entries, you will find individual transactions, Refund and Void events, and batched Payouts (Withdrawals).
Entries is best used to reconcile transfers made to the bank account on file. To manage data and view the Gross Amount, Fees, and Net Amounts, we recommend utilizing the Transactions tab.
Account Balance
The Account Balance includes the Net Amount available for the upcoming Payout. Once a Payout has been initiated, the Account Balance will be cleared and returned to $0.00.

Address Verification Service (AVS)
The Address Verification Service (AVS) is provided by payment card providers (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa) to help determine whether or not a match or partial match of a donor's address information is achieved.
AVS Results are given as single letter codes. Below are some of the AVS results you may see when Exporting a CSV file on the Transactions page within your Anedot account:
- (A) Street address matches, but 5digit and 9digit postal code do not match.
- (C/Z) Postcode Matched; Address not Matched
- (D) Street address and postal code match.
- (F) Address Matched; Postcode not Matched
- (J) Postcode and Address not Matched
- (N) Street address and postal code do not match.
- (Y) A street address and 5digit postal code match.
Anedot asks for the zip code associated with the credit card being used to make the contribution but does NOT ask the contributor for the billing address (if different from the residential address provided by the contributor) of the credit card being used to make the contribution.
The merchant account processor uses an Address Verification System (“AVS”) to verify the credit card information with the contributor’s bank, and the transaction will be completed even if the residential address provided by the contributor does not match the billing address on file with the contributor’s bank for that particular credit card. If the AVS code indicates that there is no address match, the organization will need to follow up with the contributor to verify, via a written statement, to address the discrepancy between the claimed residential address and the billing address before qualification can be granted.
PDF Detailed
The PDF Detailed format includes full transaction details and allows you to review each transaction individually in a format that is similar to a receipt. This will download a one-page record per transaction/withdrawal and is ideal when printing the records is necessary.
PDF Summary
The PDF Summary format includes a brief overview of transaction details, including the transaction date, donor name, amount, and fees. This is ideal for when you need a quick summary of your transaction data for printing or record keeping.
