The Merchant Log reflects activity between CivicRec and your payment gateway and is not meant to be a direct representation of transaction totals. It may show multiple entries for one transaction (ex: declines) or multi-stage card processing (ex: pre-authorizations), followed by submittal for settlement.
If you filter out declines, the declined charges will not tally into viewable totals. If you do not filter out declines, they would tally into viewable totals.
Typically the Merchant Log is a tool to investigate why a charge was declined or investigate payment processing discrepancies.
