Generating a Folio for a Billing Window

When the Multi-currency OPERA Control is active you can generate folios in any currency for which exchange rates are setup. For more information, see Managing Currency Exchange Rates. When the Additional Folio Text OPERA Control is active you can enter reservation-specific promotional or reference text to include on the folio. For example, this is useful to indicate a travel agent voucher number or purchase order reference details on an AR invoice.
