The commission due is calculated when settling the invoice, based on the rate holder’s commission agreement in the guest profile for the current date or on the specified commission in the reservation itself. The following points are required in order to call up the commission:
• The field History reservation source in the hotel master file is set to Yes.
• The invoice has been settled in full.
• The invoice was included in the outgoing invoice journal in the night audit and can, therefore, no longer be recalled.
• The program Establishing history data has already saved the rate holder’s chronological history. Usually, this program is also included in the night audit schedule.
After running the program, the commission data can be called up in the layout Commissions (menu Back Office). Commissions to be posted manually and that haven’t been processed yet, are marked with the icon in the column Commission paid.
Follow the hotel’s instructions with regards to processing these commissions further. Some hotels, for example, export the listbox to Excel and forward the same to their Accounts department.
