To understand the different charge codes types, we will first explain the ones listed from the CHARGE CODE TYPE dropdown.

To understand the different types of charge codes we will first explain the ones listed:

The ROOM charge code type determines if postings done to this type show in the Forecast Report as room revenue.

Chargecode type "ROOM "- this type will determine if postings done to this type are showing in your forecast report as room revenue.

The TAX charge code type will populate a calculation screen, which allows you to configure the tax percentage or tax amount.

The TOURIST TAX charge code type does the same as TAX, but this charge code type will not be included in the room charge. This is for rate offers whereby the tourist tax is paid by the guest, and the room by the company or travel agent.

The PAYMENT charge code type displays a popup with all activated payment methods. Each payment method should have a charge code with this type associated.

The PAYMENT FEES charge code type allows you to configure a fee on a credit card payment.

The SERVICE FEES charge code type allows you to add a revenue posting that may or may not have a tax associated with it. This can be associated with, for example, the room charge code and add a tourist tax on which VAT should also be calculated.

Chargecode type "SERVICE FEES" - allow to add a revenue posting that may or may not have a tax associated with it. This can be associated with for example the room charge code and that way add a 'tourist tax' on which also VAT should be calculated.

There are three charge code types that currently do not have any logic: F&B, OTHERS, and ADD-ON. Just select the most obvious charge code type from the three if none of the above apply.

The abbreviation A/R stands for Accounts Receivable. The A/R MANUAL BALANCE and A/R MANUAL CREDIT charge code types are system charge code types, and can be configured to manage unpaid Accounts Receivable invoices from the legacy PMS when you start working with Stayntouch PMS.
