Travel Agent Commissions are amounts payable to a Travel Agent in return for a guest reservation.
The commission amount payable is determined by the negotiated contract between the property and the Travel Agent.
Travel Agent Commissions may only be applicable to particular Rate Types and can be setup per Rate on a Travel Agent in RMS.
Travel Agent Commissions collect on the Travel Agent 'Commissions' Account and can be marked paid using the Travel Agent Commissions utility.
The following options are available on Travel Agent Commission setup dependant on the property's setup.
