Logging Transaction Information
A record is maintained of all transactions executed on your account. Use PayPal Manager to
view the record and use the information to help reconcile your accounting records.
NOTE: This record is not the official bank statement. The activity on your account is the
official record.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that you log all transaction results (except for check
information) on your own system. At a minimum, log the following data:
PNREF (called the Transaction ID in PayPal Manager reports)
Transaction Date
Transaction Amount
If you have any questions regarding a transaction, use the PNREF to identify the transaction.
