Has anyone seen any documentation on HOW funds (sales figures) are transferred into our iS accounts?

I'm seeing piece meal, intermittent updates at appx 28 cents per transaction.  Is that the norm?

Yes, it seems to be for me too.  They seem so start at the beginning of the month and then gradually update the totals over the next few days.  Mine is up to the 13th now, most for 28c subs but had one for $1.93.  Not sure why it is done in arrears or why it takes several days to update for the whole month - maybe they need faster computers.

wow that sounds complicated

i just have a spreadsheet where i track submissions and site earnings
I don't have time to track individual photo earnings.

I just use Excel.  I have one worksheet for submitted images with fields for dates of submission, decision and the result for each image, plus keep track of the titles, descriptions and keywords which I then copy into the image file in PS.  Next time I have a similar image I can copy and paste all of that information from a previous one and add any needed modifications.  In a second worksheet I have a sales summary by agency with totals for each month, year, etc.  I have a third worksheet for sales by photo, which I tracked for the first few months, but once I had more than 50 or 100 images it was too much trouble to bother so now I only record submissions and total sales.

Me either...

One for $0.50.
