This screen allows you to:
Modify the credit card discount amount posted to a reservation or zero the credit card discount amount for a selected range of reservations.
Before you begin:
Select the Change Credit Card Discount Amount option from the Reservation Maintenance Menu. The Reservation Maintenance Menu is located on the Reservations Menu.
The credit card discount amount on this screen is not a charge to the reservation; it is a deduction from the owner at owner statement time for the accumulated credit card discount. When posting a credit card payment to a reservation, via the Payments Received option on the Reservations Menu, the system will accumulate the discount amount. If desired you can use this screen to change the accumulated amount.
The discount percentage for each credit card type is defined using the control file. If you do not charge the owner this discount (recoup the charge charged you by the credit card company) then the percentages in the control should be set to zero. If the percentages are set to zero then no charges are accumulated and it is not necessary to use this screen.
The ‘Zero charges option allows you to automatically zero the discount amount for all reservations (A, B C & CY) that are within a range of entered departure dates. You will be prompted for the first departure date and last departure date. For each reservation selected, the system will change the discount amount to zero. This option could be used if you had, for example, inadvertently set a percentage in the control file and wanted to zero all accumulated charges.
To change an individual reservation, you must retrieve the reservation by the reservation number or by name. Refer to the View Reservation section for a discussion on retrieving the reservation.
Once a reservation has been retrieved, the single prompt below is asked followed by the modification prompt. This allows you to quickly enter the credit card discount amount.
