General Data

This tab offers a number of additional functions for the service master file.

 

Normally, the services posted are debited to the guest account. However, if a service is to be credited on an account as a rebate, the field negative posting must be set to yes. When posting the service, the dialog will suggest in the field quantity a value of -1, so that you will only have to enter the amount.

 

è EXAMPLE: the Chef has to quickly buy some bread. This would be charged to kitchen expenses by posting the amount with the In/Out-button in the PMS’ cash register or onto a miscellaneous account.

 

Under this tab, you can also define wether the service can be used when posting paid outs for guests. If you enter a payment type in the field type of payment if paid-out, then posting the service will automatically credit your float in the respective payment type. E.g. you provide the payment for a taxi on behalf of a guest. The same procedure applies to a tip. The revenue report shows paid-outs separately.

 

In order to identify meal plan services, the service must be assigned to an option in the field meal plan. The service will then be included in the meal plan summary (Menu Housekeeping).
