Read profit and loss

The profit and loss view, often called P&L, shows booking revenue less recorded commission and operating costs for the period. It is a management view of contribution, not formal accounts.

Steps

1. Open Money, then Portfolio & P&L.
2. Choose the period and property scope.
3. Open the profitability view and read each line's source and comparison.
4. Investigate unresolved expenses and receipts that have not yet been approved.
5. Export the report only after checking the dates and data confidence.

Finance and management read-only: open Portfolio and P&L directly from the main menu.

What you will see

The view uses approved costs and imported figures that can be tied to a property. Guest payments and channel payouts are separate from contribution. Finance members see the report by default; facilities and office managers do not see financial figures unless an administrator changes their role permissions.

If something goes wrong

• If an earlier comparison is unavailable, check the selected dates and imported booking history.
• If the page says expenses "cannot be tied to a verified property", open Expense allocation on Hostaway or review receipt allocations.
• If a cost is missing, check the receipt's approval status before adding it again.
