Weekly Business Report

The Weekly Business Report shows all the revenue added into the system for one week beginning on the specified date, by Post Type and grouped by Post Type Department for the selected revenue stream (Hotel, A/R, POS and/or Condo). It shows daily totals and totals for the weekly Tax and Net revenue total for each separate department, as well as grand totals for the daily revenues, tax and net revenue at the bottom of the report. It is similar to the Department Revenue Report, but instead of showing one specific day, the weekly business report shows seven days of information on your revenue. Unlike the Department Revenue Report, more than one selected revenue stream may be shown on the same report; if this is the case, the revenue totals, including the tax and net revenue accumulated, will be shown as a combined value, not separated by stream.

Note: Depending on the beginning date selected for the generated report, the weekly business report may include unrealized revenue. (Forecast revenue is subject to change, as revenue is not actually realized until the Night Audit has been run for the specified date). This may also be shown on the Department Revenue Report if the "Show Unrealized Revenue (Room & Tax, Recurring Charges for the Current Day)" check box is selected.

The Weekly Business command in the Revenue Reports section of the Reports Area opens the Weekly Business Report screen and allows you to generate a report to your specifications. The report may be generated for any one of your Properties or all Properties.

Weekly Business Report screen example

 

Show All Hotels: This box may be checked or unchecked. By default it is unchecked, meaning the generated report will show information ONLY for the current Property. For this report, you may choose to show the information from ALL your Properties within Skyware on one report, rather than generating separate reports for each Property.

 

Revenue Stream: Select the Revenue stream you wish to show the Department Revenue Report for.

Select from Hotel Postings, A/R postings, POS postings and/or Condo postings. Any or all of these revenue streams are available to be shown in one report. By default Hotel Postings is selected.

 

Report Date: You will need to specify the date range for the report. Select the date you wish to have the reporting begin. The report will show 7 days total. By default the Date selected is today's date. To change the date selected, click within the date field. This will open a calendar where you may select month, year and day. When the day has been selected the calendar will close and the date field will be automatically updated with your selection.

 

Report Options: Choose the options you want to view in this report.

Include zero balance posting types: This box may be checked or unchecked. By default it is unchecked.

Include non-revenue posting types: This box may be checked or unchecked. By default it is unchecked.

 

When finished, click the orange button Run Report.

Weekly Business Report example

Once generated, the report lists all of the departments, showing each post type within that department which generated revenue and the revenue amount posted for the date selected and the 6 subsequent days, for one week total, with a weekly total for both tax and net revenue for each department. The bottom of the report shows grand revenue totals for all departments each day, and the weekly total for tax and net revenue.

Note: Departments without revenue are listed on the left of the report but will not have any entries in the revenue section of the report. This reduces the volume of the report, making it more concise and readable.

 

By default, the report is generated in PDF form and opens in a separate browser window. From there you can select to save or print the report, among other options. You can, instead, check the Generate report to excel checkbox to generate the report in HTML for downloading to Excel instead of PDF. The information in this case will then be correct for importing into another document rather than immediate viewing.

NOTE: The generated report appears as a pop-up window through your browser. If your browser is set to block pop-ups, you may receive a warning banner at the top of the browser. Click this banner and select to allow pop-ups so that you can view the report.
