This page describes the Folio Journal report in the Hotel module.

Here you can edit the Item or delete it. Please refer to the 'Moving, Changing and Removing Charges and Items from Guest Accounts' section on the Adding and Managing Items on Guest Accounts (Folio Items) page for more details about this process.
