Configuring Fiscal Partners

Select the fiscal partner(s) for which the universal payload should be generated. A maximum of three fiscal partners can be configured, each with a priority.

Adding Fiscal Partners

   3. Priority: Enter or select a priority for the partner.

   4. Payment Types: Select one or more payment types from the list.

      • When the field is blank, and you generate a fiscal folio, the universal payload generates regardless of which Payment Types were posted to the window.

      • When the field is populated, and you generate a fiscal folio, the universal payload generates only when one of the configured Payment Types were posted to the window.

   5. Electronic / Fiscal Folio Profile Handling: Select a value from the list.

      • A – When you generate a fiscal folio, the universal payload generates regardless of payee profile configuration.

      • N – When you generate a fiscal folio, the universal payload generates based on the configuration of the Electronic/Fiscal Folio value on the payee profile.

        • If Electronic/Fiscal Folio is blank on the payee profile, then the universal payload does not generate.

        • If Electronic/Fiscal Folio is set to No on the payee profile, then the universal payload does not generate.

        • If Electronic/Fiscal Folio is set to Yes on the payee profile, then the universal payload generates.

      • Y – When you generate a fiscal folio, the universal payload generates based on the configuration of the Electronic/Fiscal Folio value on the payee profile.

        • If Electronic/Fiscal Folio is blank on the payee profile, then the universal payload generates.

        • If Electronic/Fiscal Folio is set to No on the payee profile, then the universal payload does not generate.

        • If Electronic/Fiscal Folio is set to Yes on the payee profile, then the universal payload generates.

   6. Fiscal Payloads: Select fiscal payloads from the list.

      1. Check Out: When selected, the universal payload generates when the reservation changes to Checked Out status. The universal payload includes consolidated transaction totals by Transaction Code from all folios, across all folio windows of the reservation.

      2. Folio Generation: When selected, the universal payload generates when you perform a folio settlement. The universal payload includes unsettled transactions from the folio window where the settlement is performed.

   7. Click Save or click Save and Continue to add another.
