What a hotel night audit actually does
Why properties close the day at 3am — and how folio truth, room charges, and SYSTEM jobs hang together in SevaRan.

The fear is not midnight — it is mismatch
Operators do not fear the clock. They fear a folio that no longer matches the room night ledger after the calendar rolls. A night audit is the discipline that freezes yesterday’s guest money before today’s arrivals start writing new charges.
What has to close together
Room charges, incidental folio posts, and occupancy state must agree. If ROOM_CHARGE lands twice, or a late checkout sleeps past the cut, the property is inventing revenue or losing it. SevaRan’s hotel spine treats the folio as the money surface and the night audit as the job that proves that surface still tells the truth.
SYSTEM actors, not a staff ritual alone
The audit can be scheduled. When it runs as a PLATFORM/SYSTEM actor, it is the same close path a GM would run by hand — just without a mouse at 3am. That is honest automation: the rule set stays one source of truth.
