# Fishbowl: Receipts reconciled but not received won't bill

> A receipt marked as reconciled but not received cannot be billed.

## What it means
When a receipt is marked as reconciled in accounting but remains marked as 'not received,' Fishbowl blocks it from being billed out. This usually indicates a data state mismatch—the receipt has been reconciled to accounting but the receipt status still shows as not received.

## What to check
- Review the receipt's **Receipt Status** field—verify whether it should be marked 'received' or 'not received'
- Check the order of operations: confirm whether the receipt was marked received before being reconciled
- Verify the reconciliation status matches the actual receipt state
