 As you can see in the image above, this report does not include filters by accommodation type or room. It provides revenue breakdowns by category only (e.g., room revenue, taxes, services).

  This report uses the service date for all financial statistics, which is the date the product or service is delivered. With proper permission, the service date can be backdated to recognize revenue and expenses in the correct period. To learn the difference between the Service Date and the Transaction Date, click here.

Revenue Table

It presents the data in a set of categories and fields. Click on the sections below to find out their legend.

Report Fields

  • Amount: Revenue registered for the selected date
  • MTD: Month-to-date
  • YTD: Year-to-date

For example, the date selected is 05/15/2024.

  • Amount: One day only (05/15/2024)
  • MTD: It’s the first day of the month until the selected date (05/01/2024 - 05/15/2024)
  • YTD: It’st the first day of the year until the selected date (01/01/2024 - 05/15/2024)

For transactions in blue, clicking on the amount on the day, MTD, or YTD will redirect you to the Transactions Report for full details associated with that category.

Report Categories

  • Revenue by Rooms Revenue: The total amount of revenue generated from room rates on the selected date.
  • Revenue by Items & Services: The total amount of revenue generated on the selected date posted under items and services.
  • Revenue by Add-On: The total amount of revenue generated on the selected date posted under add-ons.
  • Revenue by Cancellation: The total amount of revenue associated with cancellation fees.
  • Revenue by Taxes & Fees: The total taxes and fees associated with room rates, items, etc.
  • Revenue by Adjustment: The total amount of adjustments that were done on the selected date.
  • Revenue by Payment: A breakdown of each payment transaction method generated on the selected date.
  • Revenue by Refunds: The total amount of processed refunds for the selected date.
  • Revenue by Disputes: The total revenue generated by disputed charges.

  The revenue categories may differ:

  • If your property does not have Add-ons or Cancellation fees, for example, these categories will not appear in your report.
  • Additionally, you may see different categories that are not listed above, depending on the property's integrations and Custom Items (POS) set in your Cloudbeds PMS, such as Cloudbeds Guest Experience or Lightspeed K POS.
  • Grand Total (Revenue): The total of all revenue transactions posted to guest accounts for the selected date.
  • Grand Total (Payments): The total of payments and refunds applied to guest accounts for the selected date.
  • Grand Total (Revenue + Payments): The overall revenue for transactions for the selected date.

  Properties often compare the Daily Revenue Report (DRR) with the Daily Financial Report (DFR), but the totals will not match because each report is calculated differently. The DRR grand total includes taxes and fees, while the DFR does not. Refunds also appear separately in the DRR (not inside Payments).

For a detailed comparison, see the FAQ Why don’t the totals in the Daily Revenue Report (DRR) match the Daily Financial Report (DFR)?.

  • Ledger: If you used the Ledger toggle before clicking "apply," you will see the following rows at the bottom of the report:
    • Opening Balance: It’s equivalent to the closing balance of the previous date (Amount field), month (Mtd field), and year (Ytd field). For example, if the date 05/15/24 is selected, the opening balance in the columns:

      •  
        • The Amount will be the closing balance of the previous date (05/14/24).
        • MTD will be the closing balance of the previous month (04/30/24).
        • YTD will be the closing balance of the last day of the previous year (12/31/23).

      The opening balance will always be zero on the system's first day of operation.

    • Change: It is calculated by subtracting the Grand Total (Payments) from the Grand Total (Revenue). It's the difference between the two.
    • Closing Balance: The sum of the Opening Balance plus the Change. The closing balance will be the opening balance for the next work day.

FAQ

Where does the transaction data in this report come from?

Transaction data is pulled from the Cloudbeds Accounting service, which provides detailed transaction-level records aligned with USALI standards. Transactions are immutable, and changes are recorded using equal and opposite reversal entries.

How are revenue categories structured in the Daily Revenue Report?

Revenue is grouped into distinct categories such as Room Revenue, Items & Services, Add-Ons, Taxes & Fees, Payments, Refunds, and Adjustments. Some categories appear only if they apply to your property configuration and integrations.

Why do payments appear as negative values in this report?

Transaction amounts are calculated as Debits minus Credits: Debits add value (e.g., charges or revenue), while Credits remove value (e.g., payments or refunds).

When a payment is recorded:

  • The Debit is typically $0
  • The Credit reflects the payment amount (e.g., $100)

So the formula becomes: 0 − 100 = 100

That's why payments are shown as negative amounts— the same goes for adjustments!

Why are there no amounts showing in the "Amount" column of the report?

The Amount balance will be zero ($0.00) if today's date is selected because the system updates room rates at 2:00 AM the following day.

When will the Daily Revenue Report be available, and what transactions will be displayed in the report?

The Daily Revenue Report will be available after all transactions are posted for that day (at 2:00 AM the next day). Even though the report will be available after 2:00 AM, it will display transactions done until 11:59 PM.

Why don’t the totals in the Daily Revenue Report (DRR) match the Daily Financial Report (DFR)?

When comparing totals between the Daily Revenue Report (DRR) and the Daily Financial Report (DFR), it’s important to note several key differences in how each report is calculated:

Category Daily Revenue Report (DRR) Daily Financial Report (DFR) Comments / Tips
Taxes & Fees Included in the Grand Total Excluded from total revenue Subtract taxes/fees from DRR totals when comparing to DFR.
Refunds Shown separately from Payments Included inside the Payments total Account for refunds: DRR splits them; DFR embeds them in Payments.
Transactions Only posted transactions Both pending and posted transactions Expect timing differences between the two reports.


 

 Key Takeaway:

Recognizing these differences helps you gain accurate insights, make informed revenue decisions, and ensure compliance with financial requirements.

  •  
    • Gain accurate insights into your property’s daily performance
    • Make informed revenue management and operational decisions
    • Ensure compliance with accounting and regulatory requirements

👉 Always adjust for taxes, fees, and refunds when comparing the two reports.

What are Accounting Codes and how are they used in this report?
