Setting up nightly revenue recognition for Accounting

Nightly revenue recognition allows you to recognize revenue on a nightly basis, track revenue per night, and ensure that your accounting reports accurately reflect your monthly revenue.

With nightly revenue recognition, a journal entry is created for each night separately, so you can be sure that your reports are up-to-date and accurate. This feature is particularly useful for reservations that span multiple calendar months. When a reservation starts in one month and ends in another, using the nightly revenue recognition option will split the revenue between the different months. This means that you can have more accurate accounting reports, as the revenue is allocated to the correct month based on the user's selection.
