The revenue date  can be changed to any date that is equal or greater than the current business date and less than the departure date. A warning message appears if you try to enter a revenue date that is greater than the reservation departure date or earlier than the current business date.

If the revenue date for the main charge is changed, the revenue date for any (tax) generates is changed automatically; it cannot be edited directly.

The revenue date cannot be changed for a transaction if the reservation is Checked Out or in Open Folio status.

Note:

You cannot edit the revenue date for a payment wrapper or tax posting.

Example

A guest checks in for 4 nights on room-only rate and an advance bill is generated. The next morning the guest decides he wants to have breakfast at €10 per day.

As packages cannot be attached to the reservation once an advance bill has been generated, a cashier posts four breakfasts manually, as shown below, with all breakfast charges allocated to the same business date.
