About F&B Write-Off Lines

F&B write-offs are used to track charges that are incurred but written off. For example, when hotel staff members entertain clients in the Food and Beverage outlets you might create a line called Sales Meal Comps. You would configure the line so that the charges they sign for are written off to the appropriate expense lines in the operating or overhead departments, and the revenue and sales taxes are adjusted so that the correct amount flows to the profit and loss statement.

Another example of needing an F&B Write-Off line would be when you have multiple dinner coupons. You don't want to have each coupon listed individually on the Reconcile screen, so you would create an F&B Write-Off line called Dinner Coupons. This line shows up as a link in the Reconcile screen, and when clicked takes you to a Detail screen where you would enter the information about the individual coupons.
