Posting Credit Card Rebates

You can apply a rebate (refund) by credit card to charges on the reservation billing screen. OPERA Cloud will perform a verification to confirm that the rebate amount on that credit card does not exceed the previously charged amount to the credit card. This function requires setting the Cashiering > Credit Card Rebate Validation parameter to On.
