# Overview

The **Reporting** > **Reconciliation** section of the [Dashboard](/docs/dashboard-overview#log-in-to-the-dashboard) enables you to create and download reconciliation reports to help you reconcile your sales.

Two reconciliation report types exist:

* Monthly: Automatically generated on the first of each month for the preceding month.
* Date range: Generated according to the dates that you select.

Reconciliation reports contain important information, including Peach unique ID, merchant transaction ID, timestamp, customer name, amount, and more.
They cover card transactions for Absa, FNB, Nedbank, and Standard Bank.

<Callout type="warning">
Peach Payments might withhold settlement for various reasons, including outstanding FICA documents, suspected fraud, chargeback disputes, sudden spikes in transaction volumes, incomplete verifications, outstanding fees, and so on. These measures are in place to ensure a secure, trustworthy environment for all parties involved in the payment process.
