The Night Audit function is a daily audit of all transactions and booking activity for the day. The Night Audit process reviews and catches any bookings that are missing information for the day, charges Room Rent to each Folio and then increments the system date. This includes Arrivals, Departures and Unbalanced Folios. The last step of the Night Audit Process is to Increment the Date of the System, which appears in the upper, right hand corner of MyPMS. See Page Header. There is no required time that you must run night audit. Some properties run the Night Audit at the end of day, at night or early the next morning. The Night Audit Process starts with a check list of items that must be completed before Folios can be charged and the date incremented.See details of each step below. Each time the Night Audit is completed, an email is generated by BookingCenter, Each night that Night Audit runs, there is an email generated by BookingCenter that is titled "<SiteID> Charge Folio Results for <SystemDate>" . This which will be sent to the main email on file in Site Details. This email lists the in-house rooms, guest names, and amount charged to each folio via the 'Charge Folios' process part of Night Audit. The email is sent to the main email address of the property, as set under Setup | Settings | Site Detail. This This is a good email to have your staff, or accountant, look at each day to make sure all rates were charged correctly to each in-house Guest. If there were manually charged RENT charge, see this article to explain the effects of the manual 'Add Charge' of RENT on Night Audit: https://support.bookingcenter.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/348 To make sure that the Night Auditor never forgets to 'Charge Folios' see this article above to to make that a requirement.
