Most Common FAQ:
Q: What effect does the "As Of Date" have on the data shown in the report?
The "As Of Date" is crucial because payment and balance information might have changed after this date, affecting the report's accuracy in reflecting current status.
Q: Why doesn't the Total Payments amount match the amount on my Total Payments Received or Invoice Payment by Type reports for the same dates?
These reports cover different time frames. The Rent Roll (Reporting Service) report shows reservations occurring over the specified date range, while the Total Payments Received and Invoice Payment by Type reports show payments collected over the specified date range. Payments made before the reservation dates may result in discrepancies.
Q: What charges does the Other Charges category consist of?
This column totals all charges not itemized in their own column. These could include cancellation fees or fees from other sites on the same reservation but not within the same time period.
Q: Can I use this report as a financial report?
While insightful, this report should not be used for financial or accounting purposes. Payments, total charges, and taxes reported are for the entire reservation. Journal Entry reports are recommended for financial and tax reporting.
