Comp Accounting
Prerequisites for Comp Accounting
The Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud Service, Casino and Gaming Management Add-on enables you to set up complimentary goods and services, referred to as "comps" or comp transactions, and offer them to guests during their stay. You set up comp accounting by adding routing instructions to the reservation to transfer selected transaction codes to one of eight special "Comp" billing windows (#101 to #108).
You can specify the sales charges to be comped (including how related taxes should be handled) and nominate staff members (called authorizers) to approve comp requests and the monetary value of the comps they authorize (per-day and per-stay). Authorizers review and evaluate requests for comps submitted by other staff members, who themselves may not be authorizers.
When integrated with a Player Tracking System (PTS), approved comps can be automatically transferred to the AR account associated with an authorizer. If no AR account is associated to an authorizer, the front desk agent / cashier selects an alternate payment method to settle the comp charges. If AR accounts are used, comp charges are managed through the Accounts Receivable module.
