The hotel master file defines details regarding the hotel in general and provides pre-settings for Reservations. These form the basis for various managerial statistics.
There should be a master file for the live-hotel and another one for the training-hotel. The training-hotel always has the number 9999. If using the module SIHOT.CM, one master file has to be created for each client.
Standard payment instructions may be entered by pressing the button payment instructions, which opens the respective dialog directly.
If using the module SIHOT.CM, the button additional data opens a special dialog for chain hotels, providing fields to enter data for specific central reports.
The hotel’s special characteristics can be entered under the trails-tab. For further information, please refer to chapter “SIHOT.CRS” - Hotel Criteria.
In an MPE environment, you can also set a default for account instructions for all clients. This default is entered under registry key preset payment instructions globally (irrespective of hotel) [1931].
