The following RMS Control File Setting must be set: Miscellaneous Data, Screen 2: “ Allow Early Arrival and Late Departure” “Yes”.
To book a late departure using the Reservation by Search method, RMS requires that no arrivals have been booked in the unit on the day of departure. Enter an asterisk (*) and a capital ‘L’ following the departure date. This also prevents any arrivals to be booked in the future; therefore it is used sparingly or may require extra charges or amenities fees to be applied. To add unit specific charges or amenities, add these first in their respective Files in the Files Menu and then assign them. See Unit File Percents and Charges tab.
When booking using the Unit Calendar and Tape Chart screens use the late departure check box.
Use the Early Arrival/Late Departure option in Reservation Maintenance to remove the late departure status from a reservation.
