Open the hotel day close
On Today, “Close” in the day-close line opens the “Hotel day close” of the oldest open day. At the top it shows the figures of the day, below them the “Check items”, blocking ones first.
What the marks mean
- “Must be done”: blocks the close
- “Note”: a hint, does not block
- “Not required”: does not apply to your hotel
| Check item | What is checked | Where you resolve it |
|---|---|---|
| Departed stays invoiced | Every departed guest has an invoice. | “Create invoices” in the check item |
| Due invoice drafts cleared | No draft for a past stay is left. | Invoices, filter Draft |
| Payments posted | Recorded payments are in the ledger. | List from the check item |
| POS items transferred at departure | Restaurant and bar charges are on the guest invoice. | Till → Sales |
| Cash registers counted | The till count of the day is recorded. | Cash book |
| Bank transactions checked | No unmatched bank transaction up to this day. | Payments → Bank transactions |
Close a hotel day
After closing, STRYK shows which invoices and payments were posted automatically. Only the last closed day can be reopened, with a reason. The automatic day close in Settings → Finance closes days without open items on its own.

Close the month
Under “Closing”, “Posting periods” lists each month with “Open” or “Closed”. “Check” opens the month close. “Check automatically” posts what STRYK can, for example invoices, payments, accruals and depreciation, and runs the controls. Each remaining item has “Fix”, which opens the right place.

Further closing tasks
“Further closing tasks” shows open items of the month: fixed assets, accruals, provisions, account reconciliation and stocktaking. Postings, accounts and journal are in “Bookkeeping (experts)”; you do not need it for daily work.
Archive and reopening
After each month close the archive seals itself; you find it under Taxes with the tax adviser handover. To post a late document, reopen the month with a reason and close it again; the history records each step. The year close follows the same pattern once all months are closed.
