Travel Agent Commission

Setup > Configuration > Reservations > Travel Agent

Allows you to enter default payment information for Travel Agents you do business with. Changing the value here is used for new Travel Agents manually created, or ones created by the WorldLink (GDS) interface.

If you change this value, and you want existing travel agents to use the new commission, you must manually change the value on all existing Travel Agents.

• Only Include Commissions for Folio A ignoring postings on other sub-folios - Use this option if you have other charges on sub-folios B,C or D that you do not want to be included in any of the commission calculations. Usually, if the reservation is made for one bed/room type and/or services, and you upgrade the guest during the checkin process (on your own, outside of the reservation), you can move, transfer or set these postings to always appear on another folio. (Guest can pay separately or you can move a portion of the payment) - When commissions are calculated, it will ignore any postings that appear on the sub-folios and help with keeping the actual commission to be what the guest originally had on their reservation.

• Only Include Commissions for original reservation dates - Use this option if you only want to include the original CheckIn/CheckOut dates from the original reservation when calculating the commission values. For example, if the reservation was made from the Travel Agent for May 1 to May 4, and the guest decides to extend their stay during the CheckIn process or while they are in-house, any posting (based on Display Date of the transaction) that falls outside of the original reservation CheckIn,CheckOut dates will be ignored in the commissions. If the guest is a walk-in or does not have a reservation, then the current CheckIn/CheckOut dates on the folio properties will be used.
