Description.  Default Reservation Type for Deposit Payments

Property Determination. This setting defines a default reservation type that will be applied to the reservation upon payment of the deposit. This feature is useful, for example, when the property wants to automatically advance the reservation type associated with new reservations from a "non-guaranteed" to a "guaranteed" reservation type once the deposit is paid. The deposit reservation type appears by default in the Res. Type field on the Reservation Deposit Payment screen.

If no Deposit Reservation Type is specified, the reservation type specified by the Reservation>Reservation Type application setting becomes the default on the Reservation Deposit Payment screen. And if no Reservation Type setting is specified, the reservation type on the guest reservation becomes the default. Regardless of where it originates, the reservation type that appears in the Res. Type field on the Reservation Deposit Payment screen can be changed, if necessary, by selecting the down arrow on that field.

When batch processing is being used to process reservation deposit payments, for example during End of Day processing or when using the batch Process feature on the Reservation Deposit/Cancellation screen, the reservation's reservation type is automatically updated to the reservation type specified by this setting. If the Deposit Reservation Type application setting is null, no update is made to the reservation's reservation type.
