How do recurring reservations work and why would I use them?
Use Case
If a customer has a Recurring Reservation but is arriving midway through the month, you may want to prorate their first month's invoice. However, if you adjust their Scheduled Arrival Date to a date other than the first of the month, Recurring Reservation invoices will not automatically prorate. You will need to use a credit note for proration.
Steps for using a credit note to prorate a Recurring Reservation invoice:
- Click on the first month's invoice and click "Pay" to open the invoice in the POS screen.
- In the bottom-left corner of the POS screen, click "Credit/Return."
- In the Return/Credit pop-up window that appears, check the box next to the recurring reservation rate, and then enter the price the invoice is being reduced by in the "Price" field.
- Click the blue "Credit/Return" button at the bottom of the pop-up window.
- Next, click the blue "Allocate Credit" button at the top of the POS screen.
- In the pop-up window that appears, check the box for the reservation invoice to allocate the credit to the invoice. Click "Allocate."
- Click the green "Save to Account" button at the top-right corner of the POS screen.
