Fishbowl: Payment export restricted until fulfillment
This will prohibit the export of any payments taken on sales orders until they are completely fulfilled and may result in a discrepancy between your financial institution records and your accounting system until orders are properly fulfilled. Please verify this option with your accountant and contact the Fishbowl Support team for additional information if needed.
What it means
When you enable this option, Fishbowl will not export payments on sales orders until those orders reach complete fulfillment. This means a customer payment might hit your bank today, but Fishbowl won’t export it to your accounting system until the full order ships and is received. The result: a timing mismatch between what your financial institution shows and what your accounting records show.
What to check
- Whether your sales orders typically ship in full or are fulfilled in stages (partial shipments)
- Whether your accounting workflow relies on payment dates or order fulfillment status
- Your accountant’s stance on this timing gap and reconciliation impact
- Any existing partial orders that would be affected by this change
