Generates automatically calculate additional charges such as taxes on a guest’s bill. Advanced Generates allow you to stop Generates from posting after a specified number of days. You might use Advanced Generates to stop posting for promotional reasons or for long stay reasons.
You can apply Advanced Generates to transaction codes, including groups and subgroups. When setting up Advanced Generates, you must select one of the following Adjustment Types:
During End of Day. This adjustment type automatically stops Generates during the End of Day process after the number of days you specify. For example, if you specify 30 days, the generate will stop on the 31st day during the End of Day process. The During End of Day option also inserts an alert at Checkout telling you an adjustment has been completed for the guest.
Prompt at Checkout. This adjustment type displays the Adjust Generates screen and a prompt providing further instructions.
No Adjustment. This adjustment type is the default option. It provides no adjustments or message prompt.
