4. Step-by-Step Procedure

Phase 1: Data Extraction

Log in to the Booking.com Extranet.
Navigate to the Finance tab > Invoices.
Export the monthly commission statement as a CSV file.
Save locally with format: YYYY-MM-DD_BookingCom_RawData.csv.

Phase 2: Reconciliation

Compare Extranet data against internal PMS (Property Management System) logs.
Identify discrepancies: "No-shows," "Cancellations," or "Commissionable stays."
Apply adjustment codes for any disputed commissions.
Finalize the "Net Payable" or "Net Receivable" total.

Phase 3: Generation

Open approved Template Registry Invoice Master (TR-IMG-001).
Populate header: Property Legal Name, VAT Number, and Billing Address.
Populate line items: Reservation ID, Guest Name, Stay Dates, Net Amount, Tax, and Commission Deduction.
Execute formula validation to ensure (Subtotal + Tax) - Commission = Net.

Phase 4: Finalization & Distribution

Convert finalized invoice to Read-Only PDF/A format.
Append unique internal reference number (e.g., BKG-2023-10-001).
Dispatch to the designated Booking.com finance inbox or internal accounting portal.
Move source files to the "Archive/Closed" directory.

5. Quality Assurance & Pro-Tips

Validation Rule: Total sum of line items must match the Booking.com monthly statement within ±0.01 margin of error (rounding tolerance).
Pro-Tip (Automation): Use a VLOOKUP script to cross-reference Guest Emails against the internal CRM to prevent duplicate invoice entries.
Common Pitfall: Failing to account for city-specific "Tourist Taxes" collected by Booking.com on the property's behalf. Always cross-check the "Payout Breakdown" report.
Metric Threshold: Reconciliation must be completed within 3 business days of statement issuance to avoid interest penalties.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if the Booking.com commission percentage does not match our contract?
A: Do not generate the invoice. Flag the discrepancy in the Extranet "Finance Help" center first. Once Booking.com issues a corrected statement, proceed with the original SOP.

Q: How do we handle "No-Show" commissions that have already been charged?
A: If a guest was marked as a no-show in the Extranet before the deadline, you must submit a "Dispute Commission" request via the Booking.com message center. Only invoice for the adjusted, corrected amount.
