Information
The Bill Category on a Reservation overrides the Category for the Quoted Rate and any Rate Recalculation.
When a Bill Category is selected on a Reservation it will be used to calculate Rates instead of the Category.
The Bill Category can be used to provide complimentary upgrades or to charge a Rate for a Category other than the one the Guest is staying in.
An Upgrade Reason can be selected to indicate the reason a Bill Category has been set.
Changing the Bill Category on a Reservation will display the Bill Category in red and prompt with an option for Rate Recalculation.
Category, Area, Reservation, Guest and Rate are default System Labels that can be customised.
Users will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
