The answer
An exception report highlights situations outside the expected process: missed readiness, unresolved repairs, unusual expenses, calendar conflicts, or material guest issues. It helps owners and managers focus attention where decisions are needed. Include the impact, owner, next action, and status.
Do not let it become an unfiltered list of notifications. Resolved items should retain enough history for learning.
This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
