    Information

    POS Charge to Area is a feature to allow Guests to send charges to their Reservation Account when processing a sale using POS or POS Lite.

    A maximum value can be setup to limit the total outstanding balance of the Reservation Account when using the Charge to Area option. The maximum value can be overridden on a Reservation.

    Charge to Area can be disabled on a Reservation to prevent the Guest sending charges back to their Reservation Account.

    The Charge to Area fields are used by POS Lite and work for third party Point of Sale systems that support the functionality and read from the fields in RMS.

    Third party Point of Sale systems that do not support this functionality or are not reading from these fields in RMS will still send transactions to the reservation account in RMS when Charge to Area has been set to ‘No’.



    Category, Area, Guest & Reservation are default System Labels that can be customised.



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