[Hotel Management Extension Package] Misc Accounts

J
Written by Joelly See Toh

Overview

“Misc Accounts” is a feature that allows you to record and manage income and expenses that are not associated with accommodation bookings.

By registering sales from sources such as convenience shops or coin-operated laundries as “Charges” and recording the amount actually received as “Payments,” you can check the payment status and outstanding balance for each charge.

For example, you can use this feature to manage:

  • Coin-operated laundry sales

  • Vending machine sales

  • Convenience shop or retail sales

  • Other income not associated with accommodation bookings

This feature requires the purchase of the “Hotel Management Extension Package” add-on.

For details on eligibility, pricing, and other requirements, please refer to

How to Register a Transaction

From [Dashboard] > [Misc Accounts], register the transaction.

In Misc Accounts, charges such as sales and the payments actually received are registered separately.

1. Add Transaction as a “Charge”

First, Add Transaction as a charge. Click [Add Charge] and select [Additional Charge].

Select a hotel product that you registered in advance, enter the amount, and register the charge.

2. Record the Amount Received as a “Record a Payment”

Next, record the amount received as a record a payment.

Click [Record a Payment], enter the Select Misc Account, amount, and Payment Account (payment method), then click Save.

💡 “Add Charges” records what was sold and for how much, while “Record a Payment” records the actual payment method used and the amount received.

Therefore, when a sale occurs, first register the Add Charges, then register the Record a Payment based on the actual amount received.


Check the Outstanding Balance

From [Admin Console] > [Property List], select the property > [Settings] > [Misc Accounts] > [Balance].

You can check whether payments have been correctly registered against the charges, and whether there are any missing or outstanding payments for the recorded sales.

If the balance is ¥0, there is no outstanding balance.


Edit or Cancel Registered Transactions

If you need to edit or cancel a transaction because you entered the wrong amount or accidentally registered a charge twice, follow the procedure below depending on the type of transaction.

Charge

A registered charge can be canceled to make it invalid. The amount of a registered charge cannot be changed.

If you entered the wrong amount or accidentally registered a charge twice, cancel the relevant charge and then register a new charge with the correct details.

From [Misc Accounts] > click [...] on the right side of the relevant charge > [View Details] > [Void]

▼Void charges can be viewed by selecting [Invalid] under [Transaction Status] in the [Filter] menu.

Payment

Registered payments can be partially or fully refunded. The amount of a registered payment cannot be changed directly.

If you entered the wrong payment amount, refund the relevant payment and then register a new payment with the correct amount.

From [Misc Accounts] > click [...] on the right side of the relevant payment > [View Details] > [Refund]

When a refund is processed, a new payment transaction is created under the “Refund” category.


How to Check Sales Amounts

You can check weekly or monthly sales by selecting the relevant [Period] and [Misc Account Name] from the [Misc Accounts] menu.

💡 We are considering adding a CSV data download feature in a future system update.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. Can I change the transaction date?

A. Whether you register a transaction using [Record a Payment] or [Add a Charges], the transaction date is the date on which it was registered.

For example, if you receive the proceeds from a coin-operated laundry on the same day, but register the payment the following day, the transaction will be recorded with the following day’s date.

Currently, the transaction date cannot be changed after registration.

If the actual transaction date differs from the registration date, manage the transaction by noting the actual transaction date in the remarks, for example.
