Configuring Fiscal Guest Types

Fiscal Guest type codes are only allowed to be numeric. Currently only codes 1,2, 3 and 4 are allowed and are provided as SID data and cannot be deleted. The description of the code can be edited. Following are the default descriptions:
  • 1 = Individual

  • 2 = Professional

  • 3 = Government

  • 4 = POS account

Guest types explanation:
  1. Any guest that does not have a professional tax code, including individual guests, foreign companies/agents/sources/groups. A guest with this guest type would receive a normal folio upon check out.

  2. Any guest with a professional tax code (doctors, lawyers, etc.) and all local companies/agents/sources/groups. A guest with this guest type would potentially receive two types of folios upon check out, one for all goods posted and another one for all services posted.

  3. Any guest working for the government. The behavior for this guest type is equal to guest type 1.

  4. Any profile that is used for POS accounts (i.e., POS Cash, POS Credit Card, etc.).

Note:

The GUEST_TYPE field can be added to the Profile Presentation Overview panel via page composer.
