Comp Journal - OEDS
The Comp Journal feature provides summary and detail information on all transactions that have been routed or transferred to the comp windows (101...108). This feature is available when the Opera Comp Accounting license (OPP_GCA) is active.
When one of the Opera Gaming Interface licenses is active, you may use this feature to determine which transactions were approved by the PTS and which transactions the PTS "staged" (did not approve). Staged transactions may be re- submitted to the PTS for approval, or they may be transferred to another of the guest's Billing screen windows or to another room. In addition, for any transaction you may access the Edit Transaction Details screen; this screen provides details such as price, quantity, cashier ID, supplemental and reference information, posting window, and other information related to the transaction.
To access the Comp Journal screen, select Comp Accounting>Comp Journal. The Comp Journal screen appears.
