Run Night Audit (Cloud) 🎥
Once all items in the Pre-Audit Checklist display Status Complete, Night Audit can be run using the 1 Button Audit option. Running Night Audit finalizes the current business date, posts required charges, settles the credit card batch, and generates the property’s official daily reports. During this process, system activity is temporarily paused while the audit completes.
Path: Accounting > Night Audit > Run Audit
Before proceeding, ensure that all Pre-Audit reports have been reviewed and any necessary corrections have been made. Once Night Audit begins, the business date will close, and certain changes can no longer be made directly to that date.
Instructions
1. Start the Night Audit
From the Pre-Audit Checklist screen, select 1 Button Audit.
The system will display confirmation messages:
- Night audit has been requested.
- The Night Audit process has begun. Your work will be paused while the Night Audit is in process.
2. Monitor the Processing Steps
A processing window will appear showing progress for:
- Post RM and Tax
- Update Marketing Tables
- Update Accounting Totals
- Credit Card Transmittal
Each step will display a progress bar until it reaches 100%.
Do not close the browser or navigate away during this process.
3. Complete the Audit
When all steps reach 100%, select OK.
At this point:
- The business date advances.
- The credit card batch is settled.
- Daily totals are finalized.
- Reports for the closed date are generated.
Credit Card Batch Settlement
During the Credit Card Transmittal step, the system settles the credit card batch for the closed business date.
After settlement:
- Credit card transactions for that date cannot be voided.
- Corrections must be processed as refunds.
Ensure all payment activity is accurate before running Night Audit.
After Night Audit
Once Night Audit finishes:
- The system reflects the new business date.
- Reports for the closed date become static.
- Edits to the prior business date require proper adjustments.
