    Information

    The Accounting Options for the Account Screen determines the number of Account Types available on a Reservation, where charges other than the Rate will be created, the Default Bill To for each Account Type and if a Projected Balance will be displayed on the Account section of the Reservation and on In/Out Movements.

    Enterprise customers can set the Account Screen options per Property.

    Split Accounts enables additional Account Types to be available on the Reservation including Extras, Gas, Electricity and Water.

    All charges will be created on the Accommodation Account when Split Accounts is not enabled.

    Gas, Electricity and Water charges can optionally be set to create on the Accommodation Account when the Gas, Electricity and Water Account Types are enabled.

    Requirement, PABX and POS charges can optionally be set to create on the Accommodation Account instead of the Extras or PABX Account Type when using Split Accounts.

    The Accommodation Account is the primary Reservation Account Type.

    Projected Balance is an option available for the Account section on the Reservation and on In/Out Movements to display a forecasted balance for each Account Type.

    The Projected Balance will display in parentheses next to the current actual Account Balance for each Account Type and includes the Total Rate, Requirements, Add Ons and Transfers on the Reservation with any Receipt or Credit Note on the Account included in the forecasted balance.

    The Projected Balance will match a Proforma Tax Invoice created on the Account Type.

    The Default Bill To will set the party responsible for payment on each Account Type at the time of Reservation creation.



    Reservation, Guest, Account Types and Rate are default System Labels that can be customised.



    System Administrators will require Security Profile access to setup this feature.
