Credit Bills For Folios
Note:
A folio must have been generated before the current business date in order to associate a credit bill with that folio. An exception is the case of deposit folios. If a folio was created on the current date for a deposit, a credit bill may be associated with the deposit folio up until the time the reservation is checked in.-
All: You can create a credit bill on all folios on the same date the folios are generated.
-
Deposit: You can create a credit bill on deposit folios on the same date the folios are generated.
-
Never: You cannot create a credit bill on folios on the same date they are generated.
-
You can generate a credit bill for an amount up to the remaining balance on the original folio. For example, if you have a folio for $100.00 and you have already issued a credit bill for $20.00, then you can only issue a credit bill for the remaining $80.00 of that folio.
-
You cannot associate a credit bill with another credit bill unless the Allow Credit Bill for Credit Bill Folios OPERA Control is active.
-
You cannot apply a credit bill to a voided bill.
Note:
When the Advanced Deposit Handing OPERA Control is setup to Generate a Deposit Folio, transaction codes configured as Paid Out will not be available for selection when posting to a Credit Bill.Note:
