What should a reseller record for each balance change?

Record when credits were added or deducted, the reason, the related account or order reference and the resulting balance. A ledger makes it possible to reconcile the panel with purchases without relying on memory or scattered messages.

Record each movement

Use one row per top-up, creation, renewal, adjustment or reversal. Keep the credit quantity separate from the money paid. A payment may purchase a balance, while individual account actions consume that balance later; those are different events.

Use limited identifiers

An internal customer or order code can link a row to the relevant record without storing passwords in the ledger. Restrict access to the people who need it. A spreadsheet circulated for accounting should not inadvertently become a list of working account credentials.

Reconcile regularly

Compare the expected closing balance with the panel’s displayed balance after a manageable period. Investigate differences while the underlying actions are still easy to identify. If support makes an adjustment, keep the explanation and reference rather than changing the opening figure to hide the discrepancy.

Questions about this topic

Should I record only completed sales?
No. Top-ups and non-sale adjustments can change the balance too.
Is the ledger a replacement for the supplier’s records?
No. It is your reconciliation record and should be compared with the supplier’s account history where available.
Who should reconcile the ledger?
Assign a responsible person and a review routine appropriate to the activity. Clear ownership helps ensure differences are investigated while the underlying orders and panel actions remain easy to identify.

Understanding reseller panel permissions

Ask what actions the account can perform and what requires supplier support. Creating accounts, renewing them, adjusting details and managing subordinate users are distinct capabilities; a panel login alone does not prove that all of them are included.
