Navigating the UberEats portal for necessary financial data can be complex, which is why at Loop, we've streamlined this process. However, self-validation of GL entries can enhance your confidence in the data provided by Loop. This guide helps you understand and validate financial information from UberEats reports and compare them with your chart of accounts.

Step 2: Mapping Your Chart of Accounts with columns in the Doordash transactions report.
Understanding the correlation between your chart of accounts and the UberEats payment details report is crucial. After downloading the report, make sure to apply filters specifically for 'Cancelled' and 'Delivered' orders. These categories represent your actual transactional activity.
Using the below table you can map the columns in your UberEats payment details report to your chart of accounts.
