Description. Routing Limits will be enables for Window, Room, and Comp routing.
Internal Name. ROUTING_LIMITS
Property Determination. The convenience of routing instructions has been enhanced with this “watchdog” feature that imposes a limit on the total value of transactions that can be routed. For example, if you set a limit of 200 on a window routing instruction for transaction code 1001, the first 200 charged by the guest to transaction code 1001 would be routed per the instruction, to window 2 of the Billing screen. Any overage would automatically be split off and transferred to window 1. If the Routing instruction was set up for room routing, the first 200 would go to window 1 of the target room and any overage would automatically be split off and transferred to window 1 on the originating guest’s Billing screen.

Other Application Settings. |
Routing Limits cannot be turned ON if cascading routing codes exist (routing codes are attached to other routing codes). Configuration must be corrected before activating this function. The ROUTING LIMITS application function and the ALLOW ROUTING OF TAX TRANSACTIONS application parameter can be set to Y at the same time. Routing limits will NOT be applicable to the tax transaction codes. Note: No routing limit will be applied to tax transaction codes. Taxes will not be split even if a routing limit has been placed on the routing instruction for the tax transaction; the tax will of course split if the main transaction code that generated this tax splits due to the routing limit. |

Routing instructions may be used to route various charges (such as room charges, parking, and minibar charges) to specific windows during end of day processing. When using window routing, you should be aware of the following consideration.
If the Cashiering>Routing Limits application function is set to Y and the Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main application parameter is set to N, window routing will not take place during end of day processing if the main transaction includes generates and if a routing limit has been specified for the routing instruction. The user must refresh the folio for the charges to be transferred.
Note: The Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main application parameter determines whether or not generates will transfer with the main charge regardless of whether the generate transaction codes are included in the routing instructions. If the parameter is set to N, generates will never transfer with the main charge; if it is set to Y, generates will always transfer with the main charge.
