Approved is not paid payout
Approved $ minus paid $ is the open gap. Type both.
Pair: Approved vs paid payout on Traffic. Hold clock: payout hold days. Marketplace net: VAT vs net payout.
What you type
Approved $ — affiliate dollars marked approved / owed in the window.
Paid $ — dollars actually paid out in that same window.
Gap $ = approved − paid. Chase holds or rejects when the gap is fat — do not invent a gap chip.
What not to do
Do not invent gap $. Do not mix VAT lines into approved without splitting. Do not treat pending as paid. Do not average every offer when one owns the hole.
