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.
- Room and tax are posted for every occupied room. Most of a hotel's revenue is created here, not at check-out.
- No-shows are marked against their reason, and charged if the policy says so.
- The day's figures are settled: occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, the revenue journal.
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.
