Comp AR Accounts

Prerequisites for Comp AR Accounts

You can select or set up an AR account to automatically receive comp transactions for AR handling. A comp transaction AR account has an account type matching the account type specified by the Authorizer AR Type setting in OPERA Controls. When Authorizer AR Type has an account type specified, you can associate and set up comp transaction AR account types for authorizers. During configuration of a user as an authorizer, a comp AR account can be created and attached to the authorizer's profile.

If the OPERA Cloud user already has a comp AR account, it is automatically identified during authorizer configuration. When an authorizer has a comp AR account, that account is associated with the comp windows (windows 101 ... 108) to which the authorizer transfers or routes comp transactions. When the guest checks out, transactions appearing in the guest's comp windows automatically post to the authorizer's AR account (provided the comp transactions have been approved by the PTS).

If a comp AR account is not set up for the authorizer or if the Auto Settle Comp Folio function and the Comp Method of Payment setting are not configured in OPERA Controls, comp transactions the authorizer has transferred or routed to comp windows must be settled at guest check out, just like transactions in any of the non-comp Billing screen windows.
