Reporting and Reconciliation

  • Since the RoomRaccoon system is largely oriented toward cash-based accounting, daily postings ensure that your financial data reflects real-time cash flow.

  • Additional reports from RoomRaccoon, like the Deposits Report(s), help you manage future revenue and prepayments, bridging the gap between cash-based and accrual-based accounting needs.

Ledgers in Sage Business Cloud Accounting System

  • Payment Ledgers: While payment ledgers are not mandatory, having at least one payment ledger is necessary to accurately track payments.

  • Sales Ledger: Ensure you have one sales ledger named “other” to capture any unallocated items.

By integrating RoomRaccoon with Sage Business Cloud Accounting, you can streamline your financial processes, reduce manual work, and maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records with ease.

Please note: As with any accounting integration with RoomRaccoon, it is mandatory to link your payments and invoices in the reservation to ensure that the ledgers are posted correctly to the accounting system. Click here to learn how to link a payment to an invoice.
