The Post Stay Charging feature controls whether your property allows guests to charge expenses to their reservation account after checkout. You can limit Post Stay charging to reservations with specific payment types and reservation types.
- From the Administration menu, select Enterprise, select OPERA Controls, and select the Cashiering Group.
- In the Functions section, set Post Stay Charges to Active.
- Set Default Post Stay Charges on Reservation to On to default the Post Stay Charging check box on the reservation Payment Instructions window.
- Set Open Folio to On.
- Enter the Open Folio Closing Preference. This determines when an open folio needs to be closed. If set to Sameday, you cannot leave the billing screen with an open folio. If set to Unrestricted, you are allowed to leave the billing screen with a folio in an open status.
- Select the Reservation Payment Types to limit post-stay posting privileges to reservations with payment method equal to these payment types; leave NULL to allow/permit all payment types.
- Enter a number of days in the Zero Balance Open Folio Close Days field. This setting determines the number of days after checkout that an open folio with a zero balance will be closed automatically during End of Day.
