    • Allows the system date to be incremented.
    • Sets the room status on all rooms that have guests to OD (Occupied Dirty).
    • NOTE: Charge Folios is an optional step and is not required to progress Night Audit, if Charge Folios is not utilized room rent will have to be posted manually. Most properties will wish to utilize Charge Folios and should train their Night Auditors to always charge folios prior to incrementing date.

Increment Date

should

Should be pressed AFTER reports have been run for the day. This will manually increment the system date to show the next day's date on all folio charges and reports. Our system allows the users to decide what date charges are being applied on, rather than using the actual date. This gives the night auditor time to make adjustments to the data on the same day mistakes are made.

NOTE: If you are set-up with POS (Point of Sale), then you will see Settle Credit Cards after you have audited the charges to verify accuracy. Once you settle the credit cards, the charges will no longer be editable.
