This function is useful for walk-in guests paying in advance or when guests are prepaying for not only the fix services, but additional services as well (e.g. garage fees or certain meals). The posting of prepayment is carried out the same way as the posting of services.
You can post prepayments to an individual guest account only.
After pre-posting a fix service, SIHOT automatically advances the date in the dialog by one day, so that services and packages for the following days may be posted (up to the departure date). This ensures that the revenue is distributed to the respective date, on which the service is actually rendered.
i NB: SIHOT will only post the standard rate and does not consider any manual rates of the reservation, weekend or seasonal rates. Therefore, it is recommended to use the function post packages in advance for this purpose.
Figure 12: Pre-posting dialog
You can print an invoice after posting the services for pre-payment. However, the pop-up question for inactivating the account must be answered with no, otherwise the room status will be changed to vacant. Upon departure, settle the account for the room and inactivate the account then.
