Add-On based on percentage
This is quite critical and needs to be prioritised in the dev queue if you need further explaination please reach out to arnold.
Red Jacket Resorts would like to see an enhancement that would allow them to price add-ons as a percentage of room revenue. This is because their resort fee is a % amount instead of a flat amount and their resort fee incurs exclusive tax.
Building a tourist tax that generates tax works for normal reservations, but in the case of OTA reservations where the OTA remits tax on behalf of the property, the tax calculation rules do not work correctly because the tax should only generate on the tourist tax amount rather than "ChargeCodePlusTax1"
Cobblestone Fort Madison would also like to see this enhancement.
Fort Madison has a % based Destination Marketing Fee (1.65%) on room charges where there are two taxes (Local Tax of 1% and Sales Tax of 6%) imposed on the fee but not on the base charge code.
The workaround they have chosen is to update the Destination Marketing Fee to calculate at 1.763% - which calculate the total with tax accurately - but it will ultimately need to be manually broken out by their accounting team for reporting so this is not ideal.
Chebeague Island Inn would also like to see this enhancement. Since their percentage based and taxable Destination Fee is revenue, not tax, it is frustrating that the only way they can configure it is as a tax / tourist tax and is therefore not included in total revenue figures. https://stayntouch.freshdesk.com/a/tickets/127756

Add-ons are only basic in numeric values. It would be beneficial to set up percentage values as and add-on so we can get more flexibility as the system does not support allowances for charge codes.
