What actually changed on the page

-

Each fix is easiest to check on a single order. In both cases the day's imbalance equals the fix amount exactly, which is what you would expect if the fix books something real that was previously booked nowhere.

+

Both fixes add a single credit line. Nothing else in a summary moves — no sales figure, no + tender, no tax. That is why they can only ever help a day that was already short, and it is + visible in the line items.

A guest's tip was handed back. The reversal is recorded on the order, but get-tip reaches tips by joining through :sales-order/charges, and a return-only order has no charge to join through — so the −$60.00 was invisible and the day credited a tip that no longer existed.

+

Read the two credit lines together and the story is complete: the day already carried a + $60.00 card refund — the guest was given their money back, tip included — but the + tip was still credited in full at $482.94, because the reversal lives on an order with no tender + and get-tip only reached tips through tenders. The books claimed $60 of tip income + that had been handed back. The corrected figure, $422.94, matches the refund exactly.

The $427.10 sits inside the card tender the customer paid, so it lands on the debit side — but nothing credited it, leaving the day short by exactly that amount. R2 is the larger of the two fixes by an order of magnitude: $54,775.79 moved against R1's $3,623.44.

+

The customer paid $427.10 of service charge as part of a $4,975.89 card tender, so the money + arrived on the debit side. No line credited it, so the day showed $427.10 more collected than + earned. Adding the credit closes it exactly, and the single order responsible is + square/order/NTPT-PT-KrMZzcon1cpQEJUyetErkBIpcdEZY, carrying a + :sales-order/service-charge of 427.10 on a 3,198.78 order.

The two corrections pull in opposite directions and still land on zero, which is a useful + check that they are independent and neither is compensating for the other.
