In fact, the complete night audit, including an on-line backup, can be totally transparent to your staff. In addition, you do not have to schedule your “Income Audit” to coincide with your end of day—you can perform your income audit at any time, and adjust the revenues for a given day even after the “night audit” is performed. Of course, once you have performed your income audit for a given day the revenues are “locked in,” ensuring that your reporting remains accurate. Commission Processing gives you accurate, rapid disbursement Traditionally, commissions are calculated after the guest leaves the property and are usually based on the room rate paid during the stay. This can often result in inaccurate, disputed payments.
OPERA PMS, on the other hand, is driven by commission codes and business rules that give you an instant, accurate picture of commissions.
