Daily Financial Close Report

The Daily Financial Close report reconciles the revenue you earned for a period against the payments you actually collected, and proves the two sides match. It replaces the nightly ritual of comparing a booking report, a card terminal batch, and a cash count by hand.

You can find it under the Reports menu, listed as Daily Financial Close.

Report Period

Pick a date range with the Report period dropdown: Previous Day and Next Day shift the currently selected range back or forward by one day, whether a single day or a multi-day range is selected, followed by Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Previous Month, or a season. You can also set From date / To date manually; picking a From date after the current To date (or a To date before the current From date) now pulls the other end to match it, so the range never inverts. The report re-runs automatically whenever the dates change, so there is no "generate" button to look for.

Above these controls, an optional Ask for what you want to see box lets you type a plain-language request, such as "Collected revenue last month" or "Tax breakdown for this week," to move the period, Amounts, Revenue date, filters, or active tab to match; it applies the change immediately, shows a chip-by-chip summary of what it changed, and offers a one-click Undo. It can also answer a plain question about the numbers already on screen, such as "Why does this not balance?", without touching any control.


Amounts: which charges count

The Amounts toggle controls whether unpaid charges are included:

  • All charges: every charge entered in the period, whether it has been paid or not. Use this for revenue recognition, or to hand a period figure to your accountant.
  • Collected only: only the portion of each charge that has actually been paid by the report cutoff. Use this for daily cash reconciliation and matching bank deposits.

Note

Under Collected only, Metered utilities, Reservation products and services, Direct POS sales, and Taxes report a real collected figure rather than the full billed amount: for Taxes, that means only the tax on the portion actually paid, so a partially paid charge shows partial tax. Camping site charges works as a catch-all in this mode: it also absorbs every collected dollar that isn't specifically linked to a metered, product, or POS charge, plus any overflow beyond what those linked charges explain. Five other categories read $0.00 under Collected only by design, because collected money isn't tracked at that level of detail: Occupants and vehicles, Booking and admin fees, Other charges, Discounts, and Property tax. The money that would otherwise have shown on those lines is folded into Camping site charges instead. Cancellation fees retained is unaffected and shows the same amount under both modes, since it is derived from payments, refunds, and voids rather than from an accrual charge. Two categories are mode-specific rather than shared between the two: Prepayments and overpayments collected only ever appears under Collected only (money collected beyond what was billed by the report cutoff has no equivalent under All charges), while POS refunds not matched to a return only ever appears under All charges (under Collected only that money is netted directly into its originating POS sale's own collected figure instead of showing as a separate line).

Both modes still reconcile to a Difference of $0.00; the difference is only in which charges are counted as revenue, not in whether the two sides balance.


Revenue date: when a charge appears

The Revenue date toggle controls which date a charge or payment is placed on:

  • Transaction: the amount appears on the date the charge or payment was recorded. This is the only mode that reconciles against payments, and is the one to use for a same-day cash or bank-deposit close.
  • Arrival: the full value of a reservation is placed on the guest's arrival date. Direct POS sales stay on their sale date. This is a revenue view, not a daily deposit reconciliation, so payment totals are hidden and the report shows a blue banner reminding you of that. With All charges selected, an Outstanding balancing line is still shown, sourced from the accounts-receivable summary; that figure, and the Payments received total behind it, now include direct/walk-in store (POS) payments as well as reservation payments, so a store-heavy period no longer shows $0.00 collected or overstates what's still owed.
  • Stay: the amount is spread evenly across the reservation's occupied nights.

A small diagram under the toggle illustrates where a sample charge lands under each mode.

Financial Filters

The Financial filters panel narrows the report to a slice of activity, applied in this order:

  1. Source: Reservations, POS sales, or Other.
  2. Lot Type: only shown when the Source selection includes reservation-attributed activity.
  3. Rate Name: the rate/price type charged (e.g. "Seasonal - 30Amp Standard").
  4. Revenue category: Camping site charges, Occupants and vehicles, Booking and admin fees, Metered utilities, Reservation products and services, Direct POS sales, Other charges, Discounts, Taxes, Property tax, Cancellation fees retained, POS refunds not matched to a return, or Prepayments and overpayments collected.

Note

Applying any financial filter disables the reconciliation bridge: a filtered view is a slice of activity, not a complete day, so it cannot be proven to reconcile to $0.00. A Reset filters chip appears next to the report title whenever a filter is active.


Report Structure: the five tabs

Summary tab bottom section with the Reconciliation block showing a zero Difference

Summary

A two-column statement (Payment amount / Revenue amount) broken into Revenue activity, Payments received, and Balancing activity, each with a subtotal, followed by an Overall total. Below it, the Reconciliation block shows Revenue total, Payments received, Balancing adjustments, and the Difference, in green when balanced and red with a warning when it is not.

Daily Reconciliation

One row per business day, with Revenue, Payments, Cash, tax, and Difference columns, plus reservation and POS sale counts and a Total row. Expand a day to preview its transactions inline, or click Columns to choose which fields appear in the table, exports, and print.

Daily Reconciliation tab with one row per business day

Detailed Transactions

The full underlying ledger, filterable by Source and Summary line, with free-text search and sort. The Grouped view (default) shows one accordion per transaction, split into revenue/tax and payments/refunds/voids; the Flat view lists every row individually.

Tax Breakdown

Every tax charge for the period, grouped by tax type (e.g. HST), with a Date/Source/Reference/Taxed on/Amount detail table and subtotal per type.

Revenue Breakdown

Charts and cards: revenue by category, payment methods, revenue vs. payments by day, reconciliation status, and a trend line with a selectable series.

Exporting each tab

  • Print / Download CSV / Download PDF (top-right of the report) always export the Summary statement, whatever tab is currently on screen; Print prints exactly what is rendered, so it follows whichever tab you're viewing.
  • The Detailed Transactions and Daily Reconciliation tabs each have their own Export dropdown with Print, Export CSV, and Export PDF, scoped to that tab's table (and, on Daily Reconciliation, respecting your column selection).
  • Summary, Tax Breakdown, and Revenue Breakdown rely on the report-level Print/CSV/PDF buttons; they have no separate export control of their own.

Turn on Show calculation details (under Display options) to add a small provenance chip to each revenue line, showing whether it was directly recorded, calculated, or an adjustment. The same chip text carries into PDF exports when the toggle is on.

Cross-Referencing: drilling into the source

Every reference on the report is a live link back to the record it came from, so you can verify a total without re-keying anything:

  • Reservation and POS references (e.g. RES #1188, POS #511) open the actual reservation or point-of-sale receipt in a new browser tab, wherever they appear: the Detailed Transactions ledger, the Tax Breakdown detail table, or a Daily Reconciliation day preview.
  • On the Summary tab, click any non-zero revenue or payment amount to jump straight to the Detailed Transactions tab, pre-filtered to that line.
  • On the Daily Reconciliation tab, expand a day and use View all transactions for this date to jump to Detailed Transactions narrowed to that single business day; a banner lets you restore the original range afterward.

Balancing/adjustment lines (Today's unpaid charges, Payments collected for earlier charges, Unallocated payments, Wallet funding received, Refunds, and Voids) are intentionally not clickable: they are computed bridges between revenue and payments, not stored records, so there is no single transaction to link to.
