Revenue recognition: conditional pro-rata by stay length not yet supported (VRTrust)
Audience: Property managers using VRTrust who want to defer revenue only for long-term stays (e.g., stays longer than 30 nights) while keeping shorter stays fully recognized in the check-in month.
What VRTrust currently supports
VRTrust offers two revenue recognition modes, configurable under Settings → Accounting → Revenue Recognition:
Mode | What happens |
Check-in (full month) | 100% of revenue is recognized in the check-in month — for all reservations, regardless of stay length. |
Pro-rata (split-month) | Revenue is split proportionally across the nights of the stay — for all reservations, including short ones. |
Both modes apply to every reservation on your account. You cannot currently configure different treatment based on stay length.
What is NOT yet supported
Conditional pro-rata — applying split-month recognition only to reservations longer than a specified number of nights (e.g., "defer revenue for stays > 30 nights; recognize everything else in the check-in month") — is not yet available in VRTrust.
This feature is on the product roadmap but has not been released.
Recommended workaround
For accounts where most reservations are short stays but a small number of long-term stays need cross-month deferral:
Set your team to Check-in recognition (Settings → Accounting → Revenue Recognition → Check-in). This ensures short stays recognize revenue correctly in the check-in month.
Identify long-stay reservations that cross a month boundary (e.g., 30+ nights). These are the reservations that need manual deferral.
Post a manual adjustment for each long-stay reservation to split the revenue across the relevant months. Use the current posting date (do not reopen closed periods).
This approach minimizes the number of manual entries — most accounts have far fewer long-stay reservations than short stays, so the manual adjustment burden is low.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I set a threshold (e.g., > 30 nights) to trigger automatic splitting?
Not yet. The longTermStayNights field in account settings is reserved for a future conditional pro-rata feature. At present, the Pro-rata mode splits all reservations regardless of the nights threshold.
Q: What if I'm currently set to Pro-rata — are my short-stay reservations being split?
Yes. If your account is set to Pro-rata, every reservation — including 1- and 2-night stays — is being split proportionally across calendar months. If that's not what you intended, switch to Check-in recognition and make manual adjustments for any long-stay reservations that need cross-month deferral.
Q: When will conditional pro-rata be available?
This feature is on the VRTrust roadmap. We'll announce it in the VRTrust Release Updates section of the Help Center when it ships.
