Reading the result
- Rows are grouped by cheque, newest cheque first, then by settlement date, with a subtotal per cheque.
- This settlement is the amount of one linked receipt. Settled to date is the running total, and Balance after is what was still held after it. The balance counts every settlement of the cheque, even when the dates you picked show only some of them.
