Creating and Using Transaction Plans

To create a new Transaction Plan; click on New Transaction Plan.

Think what is going to be easily identifiable for staff when giving it a Code and Description, choose the Number of Accounts it will have and select the Transaction Rules type.

Simple Transaction Rules allow you to select Accept or Refuse for each different account across the following 3 charge modes:
Rate Plans, Product Upsells and Product Rules Upsells.

Advanced Rules will allow you to select accept or refuse against all analysis codes. 

Tick the boxes to select the required analysis codes and then click on edit. This allows you to choose what each account will allow or refuse and select a daily amount, percentage value or firs number of nights to allow charging by also.

Whichever account you select the specific amounts on, you must apply 'Accept' to the other account, so that the remaining values can be split correctly. Like so: 

Once you are happy click on Apply and Save the Transaction Plan. 

Transaction plan use in bookings

When coming to the Invoicing tab, the first task to set is the invoice Transaction Plan.

The Transaction Plan determines how many Payment Accounts will be added to the booking, and what charges those payment accounts will be invoiced for.

Each plan should be designed to be self-explanatory for quick reference.

Examples of transaction plans here would be ‘Guest to Pay’, where Guests will be invoiced for everything and be responsible for that one account.

Another option would be ‘Rate Plan to Company. This option would require 2 accounts where the Rate Plan / Accommodation charges are being paid for by a company and any upsell items to be invoiced to the guest direct.
