Post Room and Tax

During the Post Room and Tax procedure OPERA Cloud posts accommodation charges and associated taxes, plus any fixed charges plus rate code and reservation-specific packages charges Reservation Package Items to all in house reservation accounts. Additionally, when the Advanced Package OPERA Control is active OPERA Cloud posts package allowances and package profit and loss charges to the package ledger for applicable in house reservations.

When the Post Revenue To No Shows OPERA Control is active a no-show accommodation charge is posted to reservations in a no-show status; based on the no-show posting rules configured. See, Configuring No Show Posting Rules

When the Advanced Discount OPERA Control is active the Post Room & Tax 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 discount 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.

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

  • Room and Tax - Posts room accommodation and applicable taxes.

  • Other Fixed Charges - Specific charges added to a reservation which post periodically .
