Hi there. I apologize in advance if I’m asking questions that have been answered before. Some tutorials look like Chinese to me, as my knowledge is very basic.
I’m trying to create a section on our work period report where the day transactions are shown by group. It now shows how many cash/card transactions there were, which is great but I’d like the item sales to show only the settled transactions instead of showing all orders including pre-ordered items. We work with pre-orders for hotel rooms, and need the details in actual sales for our daily accounting.
Accounts is the best way to do things like rooms.
I had look at best way to do room accounts and coupled with qmckays great work with statements you can product good room bill type.
Not sure how you monitor your sales but in any place I’ve felt felt with each day’s sales go in that day’s work period, using accounts then gives you a ‘room ledger’ which the increase/decreases will balance the difference between sales and revenue each day.
A major issue I found with preorder setup was that as they are in a single ticket either the sales are held in the period of the ticket date, so if ticket date is left a past work periods sales increases as new orders on that ticket with past date.
If you do update the ticket you bring sales already reported in the previous day’s sales over in to the next period decreasing the previous periods sales and increasing the current.
This is issue if you reconcile/report your sales on a daily basis as the end of day work period report would change as ticket dates are changed.
Have a look at the account statements tutorial of qmckays.
