Automatic services are charges or fees that apply to all guests, i.e. SIHOT automatically charges a service for each guest. For example, the automatic services can be used to handle city taxes.
The System Administrator can activate this function under registry key automatic services[1766]. The service is defined in the registry and must be entered in the service- and package master files. If the automatic service is assigned to a package, seasonal- and weekend rates are considered, as are rates and discounts according to person types.
The rate agreement-dialog displays automatic services in blue colour. They can not be amended or deleted, nor can they be entered manually.
In a CRS-environment, the fix services sent by Central Reservations can not be edited at hotel level at all, as this would interfere with the commission handling. These services are displayed in green colour.
