The allowable maximum is calculated by using the free, reduced and paid counts and the attendance factor from the Daily Deposit report at the time the day is closed.

PARTICIPATION BY STATUS

This report shows the participation of percentage by status for each meal type. (Out of all the meals that were served, what percentages were paid, reduced and free?)
