Downloading the Tip Distribution Export
For payroll purposes, it is recommended to only use tip distribution exports for approved tip distributions. For review purposes, tip distribution exports for unapproved distributions can also be downloaded.
On both the Tip Automation page and on the Tip Distribution Details page, clicking the 'Export' icon 
for the desired tip distribution will download the associated Tip Distribution Export. Learn more about exporting tip distributions here.
