The day and the night audit

After the audit has run

The day is closed. Corrections belong to today, as adjustments, not as edits to yesterday.

Once the audit runs, that business date is closed and the hotel is on the next day.

Recent audits: one row per closed day.
Recent audits: one row per closed day.

Do this

  1. Recent audits at the foot of the tab — one row per business date closed, with rooms charged, the charge and tax totals, no-shows, and who closed it.
  2. A row that is not completed is a day the audit started and could not finish; the note says why, and the day is still open.
  3. The report itself is under Reports → Night audit and daily → Night audit report: pick the date, and the closed day reads top to bottom — rooms, revenue, tax, collections, the restaurant, the guests marked no-show and who is still in house. Night audits, day by day is the same for a month, one row per closed day. Both export to CSV.

If yesterday turns out to be wrong, correct it today as an adjustment. Do not reopen the day and edit it. Anything already reported — to an owner, an auditor, or the tax return — must still add up afterwards, and a quiet edit to a closed day is what makes two reports of the same month disagree.

If the invoice was already issued, the correction is a credit or debit note, not an adjustment.
