Generating the Report
1. This report relies on filters that let you narrow down which no-show events you want to view. One of the filter options must be selected before the report will generate meaningful results (and by default the first option — “Show all no-shows” — is checked). Use the filters along the top of the report to refine your results:
- Select your Date / Date Range for no-show events.
- Choose whether to show only no-shows that have a balance pending.
- Choose whether to show only no-shows that have no payment posted (e.g., because the no-show charge was voided).
Ensure at least one of the last two options is checked to generate results.
2. Click Refresh to update the report with filtered results.
Understanding the Report
The No Shows Report lists each reservation flagged as a no-show through the automatic posting process, along with pertinent folio details so you can review charges, payments, and balances.
Core No-Show Details
- Date: The date the no-show event was recorded (typically the arrival date and posting date).
- Confirmation Number: The reservation confirmation or booking ID.
- Folio: The folio where the no-show charge was posted.
- Guest Name: Name of the guest associated with the no-show.
Financial Summary
- Total Fees/Revenue Posted: Amount of no-show charges posted to the folio.
- Total Payments: Total payments recorded on the folio.
- Total Balance Pending: Net balance remaining on the no-show folio (if any).
Because no-show charges post to the folio of a canceled reservation, they do not appear in any tracked ledger (such as Advance Deposit, Guest Ledger, or City Ledger). As a result, your daily reports may show discrepancies. To keep your financial records accurate, it’s important to review this report regularly and reconcile these folios by either voiding the charges or recording the appropriate payment.
Tips & Use Cases
- Filter by date range to isolate no-show activity for a specific audit period.
- Use the balance/no-payment filters to focus on folios that require reconciliation or follow-up.
- Compare the No Shows Report to the Room History Report to confirm that charges and no-show statuses align across reporting sources.
