Reports: key figures, result, balance sheet and closing

Which figures the four report areas show, how to choose a period and how to export a report for your team or tax adviser.

What you can do safely afterwards
  • You choose the right period and read the comparison with the previous year.
  • You explain profit, costs and liquidity from Result and Balance sheet.
  • You export the same figures as Excel, CSV or PDF.
What you need before starting
  • Invoices, payments and supplier documents of the period are posted.
  • You need finance read access. Saving report versions and scheduling report delivery require finance management permission.
01

The four report areas

What each area answers
AreaQuestionContent
Key figuresHow is the hotel doing this month?Net revenue, costs, profit or loss, money in the bank, occupancy, average rate per night, monthly trend
ResultWhere does the profit come from?Profit and loss statement, hotel areas and cost centres
Balance sheetWhat does the hotel own and owe?Assets, liabilities and equity, net change, cash flow
ClosingIs the month complete?Posting periods, month close, further closing tasks
02

Choose the period

Key figures, Result and Balance sheet share the “Period” selection: “This month”, “Last month”, “This quarter”, “Fiscal year to date” or “Custom period”. The comparison with the same period of the previous year is always shown. Without posted data STRYK says so instead of showing zeros.

Key figures with the period selection, a summary sentence and the main values with the previous-year comparison.
03

Read key figures and data quality

The summary sentence names the most important change. “Not yet calculable” means data is missing, for example occupancy without room inventory. A data quality note with “Fix” leads to the analysis that shows unposted documents or missing assignments.

04

Result and balance sheet

Result shows the profit and loss statement and splits revenue and costs by hotel area and cost centre, so you see whether rooms, breakfast or bar carry the result. The balance sheet is a management report, not the annual financial statement.

Profit and loss statement and hotel areas for the chosen period.
05

Export and share reports

Exports run through the module report in the top bar, tab “Data exports”. With the option to use the filter of the open list, the export contains exactly what you see.

Formats

  • Finance controlling: Excel or CSV
  • Hotel income statement: PDF, Excel or CSV
  • With the planning add-on, “Report delivery” sends a monthly report as PDF and Excel to fixed recipients

Send the October figures to the owner

  1. 01
    Choose the period

    Open Key figures and choose “Last month”.

    The period shows October with the previous-year comparison.
  2. 02
    Check result and balance sheet

    Switch to Result and Balance sheet and note striking deviations.

    You can explain each large change.

    The file has the same period and figures as the view.
06

Planning add-on: liquidity, budget and cost allocation

With the finance planning add-on, Key figures shows further cards: “Liquidity”, “Budget & forecast” and “Cost allocation”. These views use their own planning periods.

  4. 04Exports match the view in period and filter.

Common mistakes and the right solution

Problem

The report shows no data for the period.

Solution

Close the hotel days and post open supplier documents of the period.

Problem

The balance sheet is used as an annual financial statement.

Solution

It is a management report. The annual financial statement comes from your tax adviser.

Problem

An export contains other figures than the view.

Solution

Use the same period and the filter of the open list.
