Configuring Custom Charges

Prerequisites for Configuring Custom Charges

Custom Charges allows you to configure a charge (ie city tax) to be posted during the End of Day Post Room & Tax procedure and other scenarios where the room & tax charges are posted. Custom Charge is calculated per person (adults and children) and posted each night.  

In addition, you can configure exemptions to the Custom Charge, which can be setup on reservations for the entire stay or for specific dates of the stay.

This feature is used in specific countries only.
