Reporting Bulk Entries or Zero Activity on a Concession Audit

Overview

Some concession audits include options that help you complete reporting more quickly.

You may be able to:

  • Report multiple incomplete location records at once
  • Enter multiple incomplete expenditure records at once
  • Mark remaining records as zero when there was no activity

Use these options carefully. Bulk reporting can save time, but zero reporting should only be used when there was no revenue or expenditure for the reporting period.

Do not report zero if you are still waiting for information. Leave the field blank and return later.

Before You Begin

Confirm whether:

  • You opened the correct concession audit report
  • The Audit Time Period is correct
  • You have the revenue or expenditure information needed
  • You need to report several incomplete records
  • There was truly no activity for the reporting period
  • Supplier or subtenant information is complete
  • You may need to return later to enter more information

If a supplier is missing, see Managing Suppliers on a Concession Record before completing the audit.
