The Bookings receivables report helps you manage pending or partially paid bookings where revenue has already been recognized (eg guests attended and redeemed their tickets at POS, or the tickets expired due to no-shows). This allows you to effectively manage accounts receivable by tracking outstanding payments and following up with guests to ensure timely collection.
When to use
Use the report in the following scenarios:
- Follow up on bookings that have taken place, but payment is still due (pending payment or partially paid).
- Help finance teams efficiently manage accounts receivable, making sure they know who still owes money and getting them paid.
Key terms
| Key Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Bookings Receivable | The money that a venue is waiting to collect for bookings that have taken place or have expired without full payment (accounts receivable at a specific date/period). |
| Booking date | The date the booking took place. The date filter in this report is based on booking date. |
| Recognition Date | The date when revenue is recorded as earned under accrual accounting, irrespective of when payment is received. This is typically in ROLLER when guests redeem tickets at POS or tickets expire due to no-shows. |
| Pending | Booking status where no payment has been made. |
| Partially Paid | Booking status where only a portion of the payment has been received (eg deposit). |
| Expired Booking | A booking that has passed its scheduled date or time without being redeemed/scanned in at POS or canceled (eg no shows). Learn more about when booking items expire in ROLLER. |
| Redeemed Booking | A booking that has had its tickets physically scanned or checked in at POS. This indicates that the booking has taken place and revenue is recognized, even if payment is still pending or partially paid. |
