In order to charge a service fee for the exchange, create a service master file. This service is entered in registry key [70138]. A flat amount or a percentage of the exchange value can then be entered manually in the dialog box. Alternatively, use registry key [40845] to define a percentage of the exchange value as service fee. This percentage will be entered in the exchange dialog box by default.
In multi-currency installations, the currency exchange may also be conducted for outside guests, if registry-key [903216] is enabled. In this case, the exchange is carried out on a misc. account (provided the account holder’s passport details are entered accordingly). Please note the hotel’s policy with regards to currency exchange for outside guests.
