Bookkeeper cannot automatically distinguish between current-period sales and A/R collections or layby payments flowing through Shopify, requiring manual review of thousands of orders.

Existing Shopify reports don't automatically separate A/R collections and layby payments from sales, and manual review of all orders is not practical due to high volume.
