The Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals report displays Authorizations for all bookings listed in "Remaining Arrivals" that have not checked in as of the time of Night Audit. This function is completed after Night Audit, for 'today's arrivals, in order to get a list of bookings where the credit card 'guaranteeing' the booking has insufficient funds to cover an authorization for 'tonight's rate'. Thus, these bookings can be contacted (for a new 'Guarantee by:") or their booking cancelled in order to free rooms to re-sell 'today'. Any User with 'Night Audit; access can run this function during Night Audit by clicking the "Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals" which is visible ABOVE 'Settle Credit Cards' . The amount authorized is the amount of the first night's rate (i.e., today's rate) but not including tax. Learn more in MyCard- Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals and MyCard - Night Audit Note: The date of the authorization is displayed at the top of the report. For example, "11/22/15 9:11 PM by <user name>". This reflects the time that the Pre-authorization was completed in Night Audit (Pacific Standard Time).
