If a guest uses foreign currency to settle his account, proceed as follows:
Ø Call up the check-out layout as described under Check-out.
Ø Click Settlement in the function bar.
SIHOT opens the Payment-layout.
Ø Select the payment type (Cash or Traveller Checks).
Ø Select the currency in front of the amount.
SIHOT calculates the amount due in the respective currency.
Figure 98: Amount due in foreign currency
Ø Enter the amount in foreign currency given by the guest, even if this more than the actual amount due, for example $ 220.00 instead of $ 208.68.
Ø Click Posting.
As hotels usually give change in local currency rather than foreign currency, SIHOT calculates the change in the next step.
