Receivables

Company accounts, aged and invoiced properly

Corporate stays accrue during the stay and move to the company's receivable when the guest leaves, which is when the revenue is actually earned.

City ledger

Rolling receivables per company

Select, invoice, record

Select open charges, send an invoice, and record payment with method and reference.

Billed at check-out, not at booking

The stay accrues owing during the stay and becomes a receivable when the guest leaves.

Aging split by billing state

0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 90+ by company, split between unbilled and invoiced, with collected-in-range. The clock starts at the invoice date once billed, and at the charge date before that.

Purchase order capture

A purchase order or authorization number captured on the booking and printed on the invoice.

Honesty on invoices

A breakdown that foots, or no breakdown

Per-reservation tax breakdown

Invoices carry a tax breakdown per reservation, and it only shows when it still foots to the billed amount.

An edited stay keeps its total honest

If a stay was changed after billing, the invoice shows the total on its own rather than a breakdown that no longer matches it.

Agencies are referrals, never billers

An agency sends the guest, the guest still pays through a normal guarantee, and the agency earns commission. Agencies are structurally excluded from the receivables picker.

The structure rules it out, so staff never have to

An agency invoiced for a stay it never agreed to pay is a real and costly error, so the model settles it once rather than relying on people to remember.

Agency commission is tracked and paid, with commission payments recorded against the account. Travel agency commission and OTA commission are two different problems, and the system treats them that way.

Questions

Asked and answered

Can the room go on the company account while the guest pays for their own extras?

Yes. Charges group automatically into lodging, activities and products, and other. Each group can settle on its own method. One reservation, two settlements, one screen.

Do you track OTA commission?

Yes, and it is modelled properly. Who collects the guest's money is a per-channel setting, because it changes everything: a hotel-collect channel invoices you commission monthly, while a merchant-model channel charges the guest, keeps its cut and remits net. Conflating those either chases a guest for money they already paid or zeroes a folio the guest genuinely owes.

What does my accountant get?

A detailed transaction export with tax split by component, an accountant summary, a GST/QST remittance report, a payment reconciliation, and a monthly archive that keeps all four for every completed month. GL codes are configurable and mapped at export.
