Charges, payments, and adjustments must be posted or applied in the given month to appear in the MTD area and in the given year to appear in the YTD.

*Note: The End of Year report is currently in development, in order to update the calculations to match the changes made in the End of Month report for the 2012.0.217 release. We will be releasing an update that will show the new calculations. Please be looking for updates to come.
