Posting a Rate Code Charge to a Reservation Account

Use Post Rate Code to manually post room and tax charges to a reservation account in advance of the End of Day post room and tax procedure. When the Post Stay Charges and Open Folio OPERA Controls are active, the Post Rate Code action is enabled for reservation accounts in open folio status. For more information, see Closing an Open Folio Reservation.

Note:

When manually posting rate code charges to an Open Folio Reservation and allowance packages are linked to the rate code, these package allowances will not be posted as part of manual rate code posting process. The reason being that the Open Folio reservations are already checked out and do not go through End of Day process as in-house reservations. Due to this no allowances and profit/loss charges occur.

Note:

Manually posting rate code charges does not affect the auto-posting of room and tax charges during End of Day, nor does manually posted room and tax charges change the rate code, room type, number of persons, rate, or other details specified on the reservation.

Note:

Posting rate code charges does not post any fixed charges setup on the reservation.

The Post Rate Code action allows you to manually post room and tax charges to a guest's bill.
