Auto-generate QuickBooks adjustment journal entries for modified reservations

Problem statement:

• When a reservation is extended or modified after check-in, Hospitable correctly updates the Owner Statement but does not create a corresponding adjustment journal entry in QuickBooks
• Airbnb and VRBO issue additional payouts that appear in the bank feed without matching journal entries
• Users must manually calculate the adjustment and create journal entries before deposits can be matched
• This creates a recurring reconciliation issue, especially for long-term stays and reservation extensions

Current workaround:

• Manually calculate the financial delta for each modified reservation
• Create manual journal entries in QuickBooks before matching incoming bank deposits

Impact:

• Time-consuming manual bookkeeping for every reservation modification
• Defeats the purpose of the QuickBooks integration automation
• Increases risk of reconciliation errors

Proposed solution:

• Automatically create an adjustment journal entry in QuickBooks whenever a reservation's financials change after the initial journal entry
• The adjustment should reflect only the net change (increase or decrease)

Unlock:

• QuickBooks integration would be fully automated
• No more manual journal entries for reservation modifications
• Bank deposits would automatically match journal entries
