Post Room and Tax

During the Post RT, Packages, Fixed Charges procedure the system automatically posts the charges for Room and Tax, Fixed charges, Packages, and Package Profit/Loss to all in house guests.

The Postings status page displays specific information about each posting, such as how many times each posting has been run (iterations), the starting and stopping time, and the posting's status.

The Post Room and Tax function checks each in-house guest and any guaranteed reservations with a No Show status, and posts the day's room and tax charges, package charges, and any affiliated fixed charges to the guest's folio.

The Post Room & Tax end of day procedure references the Advanced Discount Reasons (ADR) and the Advanced Discount Reasons calculation rules to calculate the discount amount to be applied to each reservation based on the advanced discount reason set in the reservation discount reason field. The amount to be posted considers all Non-Advanced Discount Reason Reservations to calculate the amount of ADR to be posted to guest reservations.

The Room Rate Posting posts the percent of ADR on all guest reservations with an Advance Discount Reason attached. The amount of the posting depends on the configuration of the Advance Discount Reason and the previous night’s occupancy.

• Room and Tax - Posts room night’s charges and applicable taxes.

• Other Fixed Charges - Specific charges attached to a reservation that post according to specific reservation or posting rules.

• Package Charges - Depending on how the property has set up packages, the system will post related package charges, for example, breakfast).

• Package Profit/Loss - An internal accounting of whether or not the property sustains a profit/loss on packages.

No matter how many times a day this procedure is run, OPERA Cloud does not allow duplicate charges. The End of Day Routine system tracks the folios that have been charged and the folios that are new. There is no system downtime during the End of Day Routine. As discrepancies are found, the system prompts to make any necessary changes. Once all data is verified, the system will post the room and associated fixed charges.
