Revenue Adjustments

When the OPV_<version number> OPERA Vacation Ownership System license code is active, select Ownership>Accounts>Revenue Adjustment to see and adjust the revenue for the owner of the unit.

Revenue Adjustments allow users to manually modify revenue that has been generated from rental activity of a unit and posted to the owner's account from Stay Over, Due Out, and Checked Out reservations. When a modification has been made within the Revenue Adjustments screen, a negative posting amount will appear on the owner's account showing as a correction with a reference to the reservation that was adjusted.

Note: Making a negative room posting on the guest folio (assuming the room revenue is configured to calculate as Owner Revenue) will not be reflected on the owner account once the rental reservation departure date is in the past. All revenue adjustments for an owner account need to be made through Revenue Adjustments. But, if the rental reservation is still checked in or has a check out date the same as the current business date, then room revenue adjustments (assuming the applicable transaction code is configured to calculate as Owner Revenue) will be reflected in the owner revenue amount in the following, example scenarios:

- Negative postings to a guest folio using transactions that are configured as owner revenue will net against positive postings to the point where the owner revenue is $0.00. The net owner revenue amount on a reservation, per night/per stay, will never calculate to a number less than $0.00.

- If the OVOS>Nightly Revenue Split application parameter is set to Y, revenue is transferred into an owner's account each night, therefore the net amount for the day may only be $0.00 or greater. But if the OVOS>Nightly Revenue Split application parameter is set to N, the entire rental reservations transactions are summed up in the End of Day procedure following the rental reservations check out.

- If the OVOS>Nightly Revenue Split application parameter is set to N, negative postings made to a guest folio may be made and properly accounted for through the day of the rental reservation check out, assuming the net amount of the share reservation is $0.00 or greater.

- If the OVOS>Nightly Revenue Split application parameter is set to Y, revenue is summed nightly for the current business date. Because owner revenue is generally not accounted for on the departure date of the rental reservation, adjustments to these folios often create a sum of owner revenue which is less than $0.00 for the departure date. In these cases, no revenue split/owner postings occur for the departure date and often require OVOS revenue adjustments to be made.
