Essential Balancing Webinar

Updated on

In this webinar, we will review the Essential Balancing process and take a deep-dive into error-troubleshooting and resolving out-of-balance issues.

End-of-Day in RoomKeyPMS

RoomKeyPMS does not have a manual End-of-Day process. Instead, the date rolls automatically at 12:00am (Midnight) and users can reconcile receivable accounts after a designated Rollover Time, or during the next Morning/AM Shift if the hotel Front Desk closes overnight. 

If the Front Desk is open 24/7, the Rollover Time allows the Night Auditor to check-in Arrivals after midnight.

End-of-Day Reporting

Three Balance Checks are used to confirm the receivable accounts (A/R Guest, A/R City and Deposit Holdings) are balanced, and therefore ensure all PMS reports are accurate.

Balance Checks should be completed Daily
