   Field Name	Description
   Pool Name	The name of the Distribution Pool
   Service Charge Type	The type of service charge in Bar Service Charge or Hotel Service Charge. This is to calculate one of the following option: hotel and bar service charge hotel service charge only bar service charge only.
   Pool Distribution Type	Distribution Type, either by group of operational position or individual. If “Individual” distribution type is selected, the Operational Positions checkboxes in Pool Distribution is disabled.
   Pool Distribution	Select an Operational Position. The amount collected in this pool will be distributed to the crew member based on the selected operational position. The Override Point is an option to define different points for different positions in different pool. When processing the distribution calculation, the program will use the override point if it exist. If not, the program takes the default point.
   Point	The Default Point refers to the Service Charge Point imported from CMS. Each Operational Position has a service charge point history with its validity range. If there is no Operational Position appearing in the list, import the Service Charge Point into HPO or OPO_POINT.
   Premiums	Defines the premium pay amount to deduct from the pool. The premium work code is linked to Time Attendance (T&A) module, Work Code. The “Add Premium Points to Main Pool for Points Ratio Calculation” is an option to include or exclude premium points when calculating the initial point value. Applicable mainly to calculate HSC pool.
