Having activated the appropriate registry-entries, the reservation-dialog contains an additional field: guarantee type. This field determines the processing of a reservation in connection with the status of the deposit or pre-payment.
•Deposit fully paid
A check-in of the reservation is possible only if the entire deposit has been received. If the deposit has not been paid in full, a message will be displayed and the guest will not be checked-in.

•Deposit in Transfer
As long as part of the required deposit has been paid, the guest can be checked in; however, SIHOT displays a notice to the user as a reminder of the amount still due.

•Prepayment
When checking-in a reservation with this guarantee type, the fix services must be posted in advance and payment must be collected upon arrival. For this reason, SIHOT checks for how many days the deposit should be calculated (default: departure date) and then opens the post deposit-dialog.
