The process of posting keeps the guests billing up to date so as to ensure speedy settlement of bills. Once the
posting has been done, it is important to recheck whether the correct amount has been posted on the correct guest
folio and also to the account of right department. As a supervisor you are required to check these details regularly
because guests check in and out daily and the guests’ transactions take place regularly.
